Transcriber's Note:
Obvious typographical errors in the editor's text have been corrected. Inconsistent or incorrect accents, spelling, capitalization, and punctuation in the original documents and quotes were left as printed.
The following apparent spelling inconsistencies were left as printed:
- Father Stanilaus and Stanislaus
- Trumbull and Trumball
- Gwathway's and Gnathway's Hotel
- Geoffroy and Geoffrey Saint-Hilaire.
On page 59, March 1749 is an apparent error.
On page 69, alcade should perhaps be alcalde.
On page 370, "as John as concluded" is a possible printer's error.
On page 371, "I now collecting Letters" is a possible printer's error.
On page 372, "as never reachd thee" is a possible printer's error.
In footnote 23, "Formon" is the spelling used in the letter printed in this volume.
This is the first volume of a two volume work. Linked cross-references to Volume II are designed to work when the book is read on line.
