- Notes
- Transcription note Old and variant spellings, like surprising / surprizing, Buttermilk / Butter-milk, Blood-vessels / Blood-Vessels, Faltranc / Faltrank, wholesome / wholsome, fetid / fœtid, public / publick, Physic / Physick, etc. have been preserved in the present transcription. In some cases of doubt, the present edition has been compared with scans of the 1766 edition printed by Donaldson, which differs slightly in setting, for instance having all names not capitalized, and corrects many typographic mistakes. Corrections listed in the Errata at the end of the book have been carried into this transcription (excepting those which are not relevant for the transcription, like those in running titles). Typographic errors, occurring at the following pages and lines in the original, have been corrected (negative numbers indicate lines from the bottom of the page):
