This book often uses periods where we would expect to see commas.
Lifespans of people still living when this book was written were printed with a long dash (1831——) and that style has been retained here.
Footnote numbers in the source reset to "1" at the beginning of each chapter, and usually appeared at the bottom of the page that referenced them. In this eBook, there is just one sequence for all of the footnotes, and they appear at the end of the book, following the Index.
Some footnote anchors in the source refer to the same footnote. In this eBook, those Footnote's numbers are: 86, 100, 104, 114, 118, 157, and 163. The backlinks from the footnotes only go to one of the duplicates.
