Errors and Inconsistencies (noted by transcriber)

Inconsistent spellings were only regularized when there was a strong preponderance; changes are individually noted. The various spellings of the name now written “Shakespeare” are unchanged, as are the forms “Albert Durer” and “Gutemberg”. German citations consistently omit the period (full stop) in references such as “2 Theil”. Other unchanged forms include:

cross line : cross-line
figuersnider : figursnider
fore-/back-ground : fore/background
type-founder : typefounder
wood-cut : woodcut
wood-engraver : wood engraver
Schaufflein : Schäufflein

In the Index, missing or inconsistent punctuation was silently regularized.
