The title page was fully typeset. This was followed by a typeset form
which was filled in by hand. On these two pages the typeset words are all in uppercase,
and the handwritten words are in lowercase.
As mentioned in the Transcriber’s Note at the start of this book, a few
minor changes have been made to punctuation. However the author frequently
omits punctuation after a closing bracket, and this has not been changed.
The spelling of words that the author elsewhere spells conventionally
have been made consistent, “peculiar” and “peculiarly” have been
changed from “peculier” and “pecurially” throughout, and “t”s have been
crossed. Other changes that have been made are:
| Page | From | To | In |

| 5 | amateaur | amateur | amateur architect |
| 10 | quater | quarter | the quarter where wealthy people |
| 15 | it safe | it is safe | it is safe to regard the result |
