This book was published in 1760 at a time when there was no
standardized spelling, and this etext is a careful reproduction of
the original book. Except for a small number of changes noted at the
end of the book, the punctuation and spelling in the text has been
left unchanged.
Italic text is denoted by _underscores_.
Two or more dashes in the original text are generally denoted by —
(emdash). However in names (such as ‘the D--- of -------’ in the
original text) the dashes are denoted by —— (double emdash).
