Original spelling and grammar has been generally retained, with some exceptions noted below. Illustrations are moved from inside paragraphs to between paragraphs. Original printed page numbers are shown like these: "[p-xiv]" or "[p052]". Original small caps LOOKS LIKE THIS. Italics look _like this_. Original bolded text «Looks like this». The code "<f>abc xyz</f>" means that the text "abc xyz" was printed in a special font or style not available in this edition. The code "@" denotes a special symbol not available in this edition. The html edition contains images or characters for all of these.
Most of the footnotes are renumbered into a single sequence and moved from the ends of pages to the ends of major sections, which are: the Author's Preface, Part I, Part II, Appendix A, and Appendix B. Footnotes in the section "Notes on the Collotype Plates" are not renumbered, but are relocated to the end of each Plate description.
Ditto marks are generally deleted, and replaced with repeated text if necessary. Large curly brackets, "{ " or "}", used to indicate combination or grouping of information on two or more lines, have been eliminated from this ebook. Such information has been recast if necessary, preferring minimal changes, to retain the original meaning. The complex tables on page 72 and pages 162-3 are examples of such recasting.
Page viii: "ornamention" was changed to "ornamentation".
Pages xxv, 144, etc.: the symbol { U+A75E LATIN CAPITAL LETTER V WITH DIAGONAL STROKE} is coded "[/V]" herein. Elsewhere, a code like this: "[=V]" indicates a Capital V with Macron.

Page 430. The section "NOTES ON THE COLLOTYPE PLATES" was broken off in the midst of a paragraph on page 430, and continued on page 481, after the section "THE COLLOTYPE PLATES". Herein, this structure was retained, but the broken paragraph was closed, with all of it on page 430.
