Transcriber’s Notes
Punctuation, hyphenation, and spelling were made consistent when a predominant preference was found in this book; otherwise they were not changed.
Simple typographical errors were corrected; occasional unbalanced quotation marks retained.
Ambiguous hyphens at the ends of lines were retained.
Index not systematically checked for proper alphabetization or correct page references. This is the second volume of a two-volume set. Index references to pages in this volume are preceded by “ii.”, while references to the first volume are NOT preceded by “i.”, as that is the way the original book was printed. In versions of this eBook that support links, the links to pages in the first volume are double-underlined and may or may not work, depending on the method used to display the text and whether or not Project Gutenberg, where both of these volumes reside, accepts such links.
Volume I of this eBook is available at no charge from Project Gutenberg as eBook 51728:
http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/51728.
Text uses “sciaùs” and “sciaus”; both retained.
Page 77: “venders” was printed that way.
Page 271: “Morravian” was printed that way.
