Transcriber’s Notes

The text of the original publication, including inconsistencies in spelling, hyphenation, formatting, etc. has been retained, except as mentioned below. Names and publications that were spelled differently in various places have not been standardised. The sorting of the index has not been changed.

Depending on the hard- and software used and their settings, not all characters and symbols may display as intended.

Phrases such as “this century,” “last century,” “the present day,” “modern,” etc. should be read with 1866 (the year of publication of the first impression) as the reference point.

Remarks on the text

Not all quotations presented in this book are verbatim quotations.

Wouwverman and Wouverman probably refer to Wouwerman.

Footnote [35]: The Three Balls of the Pawnbrokers are explained under Heraldic and Emblematic Signs, not under Miscellaneous Signs.

Page 103: Rivingtons the publishers: possibly an error for Rivington the publisher.

Page 134, Sussen: possibly an error for Sussex.

Page 336, reference to the Good Lawyer: presumably this is a reference to the HONEST LAWYER.

Page 514, Hogarty: possibly error for Hagarty (as announced on page 512).

Footnote [677]: page 297 is in the chapter Saints, Martyrs, etc., not in the chapter Legendary and Biblical Signs. The page reference is correct.

Changes made to the text

Footnotes have been moved to the end of the chapter.

Obvious punctuation errors have been corrected silently; missing quote marks have been added only when it was clear where they should be added (therefore not all quote marks close properly).

_i. e._ has been standardised to _i.e._.

Where necessary, a space has been inserted before abbreviated Dutch words (’t, ’n, ’s etc.). Other corrections in quotations have been verified with outside sources (if possible the ones referred to in this work) or with the translation given; such corrections were only made when the printed text contained obvious errors.

Second Plate I. has been renumbered to Plate II.
