Transcriber's Note

The paragraphs of the Dedication were printed in mixed case using small capitals. In the interest of readability, this portion of the text is simply left as mixed case.

There are several errors in the chronology given in the Analytical table. The entry for Chapter XVII is missing the year of the death of Governor Cranston (1727) which is mentioned on p. 141. This has been added. The page number for the last entry for Chapter XXXIX was printed as 228, but should have been 282. This has been corrected as well.

Minor inconsistencies of punctuation in the Analytical Table and the Index have been corrected silently. In the Index, the entry for Roger Williams includes an out-of-sequence reference to p. 39, which should have been p. 29.

Some words appear both with and without hyphens. Where the hyphen is used at a line break, the most common usage is followed.

The word 'seized' was misprinted twice (pp. 30, 79) as 'siezed'. It appears correctly more than a dozen times. These have been corrected.

On p. 112, an opening quotation mark in the final paragraph is never closed. A page later, an unbalanced closing quotation mark appears, but it is very unlikely that they correspond, since they span multiple topics. Both have been removed. See the entries for pp. 112-113 in the table below.

The Author's Note, which refers to p. 196, is a clarification of remarks on the foundation and re-naming of Brown University. The paragraph begins with the phrase "The foundation of a university".

On the final page, the description of "NATHANAEL GREENE", includes a misprinted reference. The original referred to:

Mr. Bancrofts "History of the United" States.

This has been corrected:

Mr. Bancroft's "History of the United States."

The following table contains other typographical issues, most likely printer's errors, and their resolution. Idiosyncratic spellings, where no other correct instances are to be found, are allowed to stand. Non-standard spelling which appear in quoted material are also given here as printed, unless an error can be confirmed by comparison with original sources.
