TRANSCRIBER'S NOTE

Previous

Original printed spelling and grammar are retained, with a few exceptions noted below. For example, Gernszheim, Gernszheym, and Gernsheim are all retained.

Original page numbers are shown like this: p023.

Illustrations have been moved from within paragraphs to nearby places between paragraphs. This results in some missing page numbers, since illustration pages and even blank pages were numbered. At least one illustration was originally printed over two facing pages. In the html edition only, a larger image has been externally linked which combines the two into one. A few other illustrations have larger images externally linked as well, in the html edition only.

Foot-notes have been renumbered 1–413 and moved to the end of book.

Large curly brackets ‘{}’ used to combine information on multiple lines have been eliminated, by minimally changing the text to retain the original meaning.

The original Index employed ditto marks and white space to indicate topics related by a word or phrase. These marks, sometimes of dubious scope, have been replaced by em dashes, one for each word to be regarded as repeated. For example, under the topic heading “Bible of 36 lines”, several topics started with two ditto marks and sufficient white space to indicate the four-word phrase; herein “— — — —”.

Page 19. In the sentence ending with “when it has been prepared for printing by each of the different methods:”, the colon was changed to full stop.

Page 125. Changed the first that to than, in “quicker process that that of careful writing”.

Page 127. Added full stop after “have been established in the most satisfactory manner”.

Page 207. Full stop added after “but they cannot be entirely overlooked”.

Page 295. “Abcedarium” changed to “Abecedarium”.

Page 302. Second comma in “and for lining, like other matrices,” changed to full stop.

Page 313 note. Changed gette en molle to gettÉ en molle.

Page 356. The comma in “Koning tried to supplement the many deficiencies of Junius, with extracts” looked more like a fly-speck, but was present in both 1st and 2nd editions, and seems plausible.

Page 357 note. Changed “Eclaircissemens” to “Éclaircissemens”.

Page 372 note. Added a left double quotation mark to ‘long before he was born.”’, although this placement is perhaps questionable.

Page 547. Changed “Bechtermuntz” to “BechtermÜntz”.

Page 555Additional Notes and Corrections. None of the corrections recommended in this section have been applied. However, hyperlinks are provided. The references are to page numbers, but we have attempted to be a bit more precise about the exact location of the subject matter of each note, by inserting a new hyperlink anchor. For example, the anchor "[anc104]" is located in the foot-note that was originally printed on page 104 of the book, where a correction is to be applied. ¶There are two notes in the Additional Notes and Corrections section that refer to page 150. The second one seems to be a mistake, however, and really refers to page 154, where the appropriate hyperlink anchor "anc150b" has been inserted. Similarly, the note that refers to page 451 seems to fit better page 450, where the new hyperlink anchor has been inserted.

For additional contact information:

The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate.

While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who approach us with offers to donate.

International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.

Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: www.gutenberg.org
