Errors and Inconsistencies:
Because of the condition of the original, common mechanical errors such as n/u or f/? (f/long s) are noted only in exceptional cases.
Quotation marks in _The Victim of Magical Delusion_ are shown as printed except when there is a mismatch between single and double quotes. Names in M" were generally printed with "opening" (right-facing) apostrophes; these are shown as printed.
In a few highly formulaic areas--the "Meteorological Observations" and "Marriages" items, and lines such as "Continued from page 163"--missing or invisible punctuation has been silently supplied. All other errors are noted below.
