Missing and extra quotation marks are corrected.

Some sentences, which, in the original, finish at the end of a line or are followed by the length of space normally following a full stop, are terminated by a comma or no punctuation. These are changed to end with a full stop.

In the list of abbreviations and books, sometimes two abbreviations were bracked together. These are transcribed by having the second abbreviation reference the first, e.g. ‘Aber. Gard. Dict.—See Aber. Dict.’
