| Note: | With the use of a text-to-speech player and the hard copies ofthe original editions themselves, this html edition has beenspecifically conformed as regards spelling, punctuation and contentto the 1853, 1854 and 1857 first editions. Inconsistencies ofitalicisation, spelling, etc. which appear in the first editions(e.g. "shew"/"show"; "Gig-lamps" / "Giglamps") are reproduced herelargely as they appear and without modification. Where the firsteditions contain manifest typographical errors which have beencorrected in the later editions, these corrections (very few innumber) are indicated in the narrative below by brackets. Greekletters in the original are rendered in Roman script anddesignated: "{*****}". In contrast tothe method adopted in the originals, footnotes are seriallynumbered for ease of reference. The images included before thecontents page at the start of this and of each of the two linkedfiles are (close) approximations to the originals only, not beingincorporated in the later consolidated editions. Likewise as withthe later hard copy editions, the images do not appear interspersedwith the text in the exact same positions as in the firsteditions. |
