Transcriber’s Note:
Footnotes were renumbered sequentially and moved to the end of the
chapter or appendix section to which they pertain. The anchor for
Footnote 189 was missing in the original and was added where it seemed
likely that it belonged.
In Footnote [156], a period is contained within the superscript and
was left unchanged. Other superscripts used to abbreviate words
sometimes display one or more periods below the superscripted letters.
Multiple periods were changed to a single period, and the period was
moved to follow the abbreviated word. Superscripts are preceded by a
carat. Where multiple letters are contained in the superscript, they
are enclosed in braces, like this: 16^{th}.
On page 274, the word ‘Cachet’ appears inside a circle, as though to
represent an official stamp.
Within quotations, misspelled words, missing punctuation, and
alternate use of accents were not changed. Otherwise, accents were
adjusted, unprinted periods were added to ends of sentences, missing
spaces were added between words, missing open quote marks were added
to the beginning of quotations continued from one paragraph to the
following, and punctuation in the index was adjusted for consistency.
Other changes:
In Footnote [16], ‘Vérandrie’ was changed to ‘Vérendrye,’
‘... la Vérandrye et donnée ...’
In the Index:
under ‘D’Argenson,’ the reference ‘see Argenson, D’ does not exist.
under ‘New Jersey refuses to comply,’ the book number was changed
from ii. to i.
under the entry ‘Scalps, Indian,’ ‘Massachuchusetts’ was changed
to ‘Massachusetts.’
