few minor changes have been made to punctuation. However the author
frequently omits punctuation after a closing bracket, and this has not
been changed.
The spelling of words that the author elsewhere spells conventionally
have been made consistent, “peculiar” and “peculiarly” have been
changed from “peculier” and “pecurially” throughout, and “t”s have been
crossed. Other changes that have been made are:
