TRANSCRIBER'S NOTE
A missing name or word is denoted by [ ], as in the original.
The format of some dates in the original text showed a year digit over another digit, similar to 167½ for example. These have been changed to the form 1671/2.
The TABLE OF CONTENTS section has been created by the Transcriber.
Obvious punctuation errors have been corrected after careful comparison with other occurrences within the text and consultation of external sources. The use of quotation marks in letters and other quotations is not consistent in the book; some adjustments have been made to have consistency within a particular letter or quotation.
The first eight section numbers were missing a period. These have been added ('1' changed to '1.' etc).
Anchors for Footnotes [189] [201] and [235] were missing and have been inserted.
