Transcriber's Notes

Previous

Punctuation and spelling were made consistent when a predominant preference was found in this book; otherwise they were not changed.

Simple typographical errors were corrected; frequent unbalanced quotation marks not remedied except as noted below.

Page 36: 'is "Warcock Hill.' either is missing a closing quotation mark or has a superfluous opening one.

Page 65: Text beginning with '"Robert de Cowdray, who died in 1222' has no closing quotation mark.
