Errors and Inconsistencies:
Because of the condition of the original, common mechanical errors such
as n/u or f/ſ (f/long s) are noted only in exceptional cases.
Quotation marks in _The Victim of Magical Delusion_ are shown as printed
except when there is a mismatch between single and double quotes. Names
in M‘ were generally printed with “opening” (right-facing) apostrophes;
these are shown as printed.
In a few highly formulaic areas--the “Meteorological Observations” and
“Marriages” items, and lines such as “Continued from page 163”--missing
or invisible punctuation has been silently supplied. All other errors
are noted below.
Not Individually Noted:
historically appropriate spellings such as “chearful”, “controul”,
“pourtray”, “stupified”, “villany”
forms like (in)conveniencies, indulgencies, precendency
inconsistent prefixes and suffixes such as
-ible, -able; in-, un-; -eous, -ious;
-ent (-ence, -ency), -ant (-ance, -ancy)
misplaced or unexpected apostrophes such as
can’st, would’st, should’st, did’st; her’s and similar
variations such rn. and ra., clo. and cly.
inconsistent hyphenization of words such as
stair-case, staircase; blindfold, blind-fold
