Transcribers note:

Numbers in square brackets, [29], represent original manuscript
pages.

Letters in Square brackets, [AB], represent a link to a footnote
located at the end of the book.

A caret ^ indicates that the following letter/s are
superscripted. The letters are enclosed in curly brackets where
it may not be clear about which letters are superscripted.

A square bracket, like [~m] indicates a letter with a tilde
above.

A square bracket, like [p=] indicates a letter with a macron
under the letter.

[=m] and [=n] sometimes are used to represent a double letter.

16^li. represents 16 pounds in monetary terms. The original
manuscript used a middle dot before and after the numbers, but
this publisher used only a single period/stop after the number.

crossed with a middle bar or stroke. It was very difficult to
