The original Journal of July–December, 1827 was evidently printed in two parts, at different times. The title page of the first part (page 1) was printed with a footer "JULY–OCT. 1827". The title page of the second part (page 237) contained a similar footer "OCT.–DEC. 1827". The text of these footers have been moved into the titles on the same pages.

The Table of Contents for the first part was labeled "Jul.–Oct. 1827" The Table of Contents for the second part was not similarly labeled, but the transcriber has inserted a label "Oct.–Dec. 1827". The section titled "Proceedings of the Horticultural Society" that starts on page 190 originally had no entry in the Table of Contents; such an entry has been inserted. The original Table of Contents for Part One did not include a reference to the Meteorological Diary for Jun–Aug; such a reference has been inserted. The two Meteorological Diaries were originally printed as three-month tables, approximately 7.4 inches wide by 3.9 inches, turned 90°, using 6.5 point type. These tables have been divided into three tables each, one for each month.

Page 31: In the phrase "ratio of which to the breadth has been augmented by them from about 314.1, to 4.1", the phrase "314.1" apparently denotes a ratio of 3.25:1, and "4.1" must mean a ratio 4:1.

Pages 136 and 137: The characters, such as M', S', M, S, etc. denoting mathematical variables were originally printed in italics. This use of italic has been discarded on these pages.

Page 194: In the text following 'M. Hachette says, “The air', there was no closing quotation mark. Three quotation marks have been inserted, to close the paragraph, and to enclose the apparent quotation in the paragraph below.

Page 223: There is an equation that originally ended "sin. [(n-1) 30° + 124° 8')]". The last right parenthesis is not balanced, and has been removed.

Page 227: There was no closing quotation mark for the quotation begun on the previous page; such a mark has been added at the end of the first paragraph.

Page 253: "sufficient far" was changed to "sufficient for".

Page 277: "Chemical apparhtus" was changed to "Chemical apparatus".

Page 288: "rea advantages" was changed to "real advantages".

Page 313: The quotation mark immediately following 'It begins immediately with' has no closing quote. This structure has been retained.

Page 315: "children, for ever. 28" was changed to "children, for ever. (28)".

Page 376: In "bring the scale L to cnt it", "cnt" was changed to "cut".

Page 425: "council,) the chair" was changed to "council, (the chair".

Page 451: The large table (originally 7.0 inches wide by 3.8 inches, turned 90°, printed in 9 point type) was divided into two parts, retaining the first column in both parts. The table on page 452 was restructured to three columns instead of six.

Page 455: For the quotation begun 'Bailey of Boston, says, “I understand', a closing quotation mark has been inserted at the end of the paragraph.

Page 459: "74° - 32°= 42° .00305 × 42" was changed to "74° - 32°= 42°; .00305 × 42". And "and 30.597 + 052= 30.649" was changed to "and 30.597 + .052= 30.649".

Page 463: In "The effects are produced either with or without access to air", "to" was illegible, and has been inserted.

Page 479: The larger table ("Crucibles, &c.") has been divided into two tables.

Page 491: The quotation beginning 'Troy, April 30, 1827. “Clouds and rain' had no close quote. New quotation marks were inserted at the end of that paragraph, and around the apparent quotation in the following paragraph.

Scans of the original printed book are available from archive.org/details/quarterlyjournal37roya. Based on the stated scanning rate of the Internet Archive copy, the Journal page size was about 4.3 inches wide by 7.8 inches high. The first paragraph of the first article on Page 1, "On the Beauties . . .", which is typical of an html h3 level article, was printed in a column 3.7 inches wide, using type with height 11 points, with 2 points leading between lines. The heading "III. Natural History" on page 486 is a typical html h4 level heading. It was printed in 9 point small caps type. The paragraph below it, a typical h5 level article, was printed in 9 point type, with no leading.
