Contractions of “it” such as “t’ is” or “t’ was” are displayed with a space, if that space is in the original text. Contractions of “ed” such as obligd’ or receivd’ or receiv’d are displayed as they are in the original text. Almost all have the apostrophe after the d. Other contractions are denoted by an arc over two characters in the original text. These will display on this device, using Unicode combining diacritical U+0361, as Com͡erce or protec͡on, for example. A blank space (for a date to be inserted) has been replaced by an underline ‘________’ (three occurrences). Dates are given for the O.S. (Old Style or Julian) calendar, unless noted as N.S. indicating the New Style or Gregorian calendar. A few dates are shown as O.S. over N.S. in the original text, displayed in this etext with /, for example, Feb. 24/March 6. A few dates are shown as O.S.-N.S. for example June 20-30, 1676. Obvious punctuation errors have been corrected after careful comparison with other occurrences within the text and consultation of external sources. All misspellings in the text, and inconsistent or archaic usage, have been left unchanged. The cover image was created by the transcriber and is placed in the public domain. |
