The convention of beginning every line of a quoted passage with quotation marks was changed to modern standard quotation notation to accommodate the fluid lines of an ebook. Otherwise, all unusual spelling, capitalization and punctuation was retained as possibly the intention of the author, with the exception of the following, which were clearly printing errors.

“is” changed to “it” on page 29. (for which reason it is generally called the West-India ortolon.)

Repeated word “the” removed from page 89. (larger than the largest)

“goal” changed to “gaol” on page 184. (The public gaol in Roseau)

“entertaiments” changed to “entertainments” on page 221 (Their entertainments, on these occasions, are also very expensive)
