Punctuation is somewhat irregular, and not always present.
Opening quotes are not always closed, and sometimes the closing
quote is many paragraphs after the opening quote. Punctuation
has not been regularised. Some punctuation is older style, as :
for . Some missing or damaged punctuation has been repaired.
The spelling is not necessarily consistent. A word or name can
be spelt several ways in the same article.
'I' often means 'aye' (meaning 'yes'), even in the same
sentence as 'I' the personal pronoun.
The spelling of this book is from the 17th Century, when
modern spelling rules did not apply.
Apostrophes (of ownership) were usually absent.
Dashes frequently replace letters in censored words, leaving
the astute reader able to guess the word, while not falling
foul of officialdom.
