TRANSCRIBER'S ENDNOTE
Original spelling and grammar has generally been retained, with
some exceptions noted below. Illustrations are moved from inside
paragraphs to between paragraphs. Footnotes are moved from the
bottoms of pages to the ends of the relevant articles. There are
uncommon Unicode characters, e.g. on page 451; these are rendered
as images in the html and mobile versions.
Original printed page numbers are shown like "[p052]". Original small
caps LOOKS LIKE THIS. Italics look _like this_. Ditto marks are
sometimes deleted, and replaced with repeated text if necessary.
Large curly brackets, "{" or "}", used to indicate combination or
grouping of information on two or more lines, have been eliminated
from this ebook. In some cases, the large brackets have been replaced
by "{" or "}" on multiple lines. Otherwise the information has been
recast if necessary, preferring minimal changes, to retain the
original meaning.
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 separate Tables of Contents have been placed together at the
beginning of this edition. 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 3-1/4.1, to 4.1", the phrase "3-1/4.1"
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 notation 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 428: in the table of Elements, the two "}" replace one big "}",
meant to suggest that the text "Mean Equinox 1829 Jan.9.72" goes with
both lines.
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 h2 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 h3 level heading. It was printed in 9 point small caps type.
The paragraph below it, a typical h4 level article, was printed in 9
point type, with no leading.
