Transcriber’s Note

In the Index, an entry may _end_, after one or more subtopics, with a list of general references, contrary to the more common practice, where those general references precede any subtopics. On one occasion, (Keaynes and the “sow case”), the semi-colon seems to be an error, since the page sequence is retained, and all refer to that topic.

Spelling in quoted material is frequently not modern, and only noted (but not corrected) when suspicious.

John Clarke of Rhode Island is mentioned on p. 258 and in footnote 656 is 'John Clark'. To avoid confusion, each instance has been corrected.

Several words appear midline both hypenated and unhyphenated (breakdown/break-down, foreshadow, fore-shadow, bloodthirsty/blood-thirsty) and both are retained. Where a is hyphenated only on a line break, the hyphen is removed if there is another instance midline without it.

Errors deemed most likely to be the printer’s have been corrected, and are noted here. The lion's share of those are small inconsistencies of punctuation in the footnotes. The references are to the page and line in the original.
