Transcriber's notes:
There are several inconsistencies in spelling and punctuation in theoriginal. Some corrections have been made for obvious typographicalerrors; these, as well as some comments, have been noted individually in the text.Details of corrections and comments are listed at the end of the text.Note that many of the errors were introduced in the third edition, ascross-referencing the second edition has shown.
In the original, the "Mc" in Scottish names is given as "M" followed bywhat looks like a left single quotation mark (Unicode 2018). This hasbeen changed to "Mc" throughout the text, in order toguarantee a consistent display in all browsers; note that the original alsocontains a few apparently inconsistent uses of "Mac", which have beenretained.
Specific spellings that differ from their modern versions and have beenretained in this text are "Saskatchawan" (modern "Saskatchewan"),"Winipeg" (modern "Winnipeg"), "Esquimaux" (modern "Eskimo") and"musquito" (with one instance of "moscheto", modern "mosquito").
