Transcriber’s Note:
Words and phrases in italics are surrounded by underscores, _like
this_; those in bold by equal signs, =like this=. Footnotes were
renumbered sequentially and were moved to the end of the chapter.
Footnotes [27], [56] and [57] have multiple anchors. A few anchors are
positioned at the beginning of the sentence.
Words may have multiple spelling variations or inconsistent
hyphenation in the text. Obsolete and alternative spellings were left
unchanged. Misspelled words were corrected. Where spelling varies
between an index entry and the text of the book, the index entry was
adjusted to match the text. Obvious printing errors, such as
backwards, upside down, or missing letters and punctuation, were
corrected. Use of italics was made consistent in various lists. Final
stops missing at the end of sentences and abbreviations were added.
The variance between Julian and Gregorian dates in Appendix IV are
displayed separated by a slash, e.g. December 1 / 13.
Very wide tables were split into sections to fit electronic screens.
Follow-on sections are preceded by [TN: Table continues].
Some tables may not display completely on small handheld devices.
The pedigree chart in Chapter XIV was converted to a descendant format
to fit electronic screens. Spouses are indented between the male's
name and their children.
There may be a digit not printed in Appendix X, last column for entry
of Mercery, &c.
Mimosa, _Acacia_ was changed to Mimosa, _Albizia_
