Transcriber's note:

Page numbers in this book are indicated by numbers enclosed in
curly braces, e.g. {99}. They have been located where page
breaks occurred in the original book. For its Index, a page
number has been placed only at the start of that section.

In the original volumes in this set, each even-numbered page
had a header consisting of the page number, the volume title,
and the chapter number. The odd-numbered page header consisted
of the year with which the page deals, a subject phrase, and
the page number. In this set of e-books, the odd-page year
and subject phrase have been converted to sidenotes, usually
positioned between the first two paragraphs of the even-odd
page pair. If such positioning was not possible for a given
sidenote, it was positioned where it seemed most logical.

In the original book set, consisting of four volumes, the
master index was in Volume 4. In this set of e-books, the
index has been duplicated into each of the other volumes, with
its first page re-numbered as necessary, and an Index item
added to each volume's Table of Contents.

lately making some researches in the Admiralty records, came on certain
correspondence which appears to have escaped notice up to that time,
and he regards it as incidentally confir
