EDINBURGH: T. AND A. CONSTABLE
PRINTERS TO HIS MAJESTY: MCMVIII
Transcriber’s Notes
The spelling, capitalisation and hyphenation of the source document have been retained (including those of proper names and book titles), except as listed under Changes made below.
Depending on the hard- and software used to read this text, not all elements may display as intended.
The book appears to contain several contradictions between the descriptions given and the illustrations. These have been retained as printed in the source document without further correction or comment.
Several of the author’s references to other parts of the text and to (sets of) illustrations are ambiguous. Hyperlinks to such elements are provided only in cases where there is a clear reference to (the first element of) an unambiguous target.
Page 61, “At Turin ... we find that the L with the satyr,”: as printed in the source document; the sentence appears to be incomplete, or “we find that the L ...” might have to be corrected to “we find the L...”.
Page 109 ff.: The illustrations are presented here as printed in the source document, with minimal straightening and de-skewing. On a wide screen or in a wide window, the illustrations are intended to have widths that are approximately proportional to their relative widths in the source document.
Page 238, “Original size” and “Enlargement”: Based on a quarto book size of around 29 cm, the “Original size” would be around 4.1 × 4.1 cm (1.6″ × 1.6″).
