Obvious typographical errors have been corrected. In many cases, Bancroft uses both "u" and "v" to spell an author’s name. Examples include:
Other archaic letter substitutions include b for v, i for y, x for j, i for j, Ç or c for z and vice versa. These have been left as printed. Possible printers errors include:
The book cited as "Meer oder Seehanen Buch" should be "Meerhanen oder Seehanen der KÖnigen von Hispanien", a chapter about (not by) Columbus. The same correction applies to the entry for "LÖw (Conr.)" The book cited as "Delaporte. Reisen Eines Franzosen oder Beschreibung." has an incomplete title. The complete title is "Reisen Eines Franzosen Oder Beschreibung Der Vornehmsten Reiche In Der Welt." The book cited as "Santarem (M. le Vicomte), Memoire sur la question ..." has an incomplete title. The complete title is "Memoire sur la question de savoir Á quelle Époque que L'AmÉrique Meridionale a cessÉ d'Être reprÉsentÉe dans les cartes gÉographiques comme une Île d'une grande Étendue." The punctuation in Footnote IX-8 was left as printed. Italics in the footnote citations were inconsistently applied by the typesetter. Accents and other diacritics are inconsistently used.
