Transcriber's note: Minors spelling inconsistencies, mainly hyphenated words, have been harmonised. Obvious printer errors have been corrected, but the original regional spelling of "properpty" (in "Clegg Hall") has been retained. Some chapters start with illustrations. In the original book those illustrations are not named. Here they are named after their chapters. The Latin numbers (i, ii, etc.) behind some words or expressions refer to the transcriber's notes at the end of this e-book. "Time has spared the epitaph on Adrian's horse,—confounded that of himself.""Sir Thomas Browne." |
