Transcriber's Notes:

• Footnotes have been moved to underneath the chapter they belong to.
• The spelling, hyphenation and capitalisation of the original work have been maintained, including inconsistencies (also in the lists of words), except when mentioned below. Examples of such inconsistencies are o/ou (as in colour/color), 22d/22nd, clannish/clanishness/clanism, Couter-park/Coulter-park, Tschingenes/Tschengenes, depot/depôt, wagon/waggon, inconsistent use of periods after the name of monarchs (Charles II/Charles II.), (John) Lobbs’/Lobb’s, etc.
• Doubtful issues have been verified with another scan of the same edition of the book.
• Textual remarks: the author uses "barrier" in several places where "barrio" might possibly be more appropriate. This has not been changed. The same applies to the author's use of "Pons Assinorum".
