TRANSCRIBER'S ENDNOTE.

Inconsistent and strange spelling and grammar has been retained, with a few exceptions noted below. Sidenotes have been moved from beside paragraphs to the heads of the associated paragraphs. In some cases this may result in several sidenotes appearing together, between paragraphs. Italic type was used freely in the printed book. In this text version, _italic phrases_ are surrounded by underscores.

This book was printed in a kind of blackletter textura or fraktur typeface which contained three ligatures now uncommon, and which may be described as: SMALL E OVER SMALL Y, SMALL T OVER SMALL Y, and SMALL T OVER SMALL W. These have been rendered herein with superscript notation: y^e, y^t, and w^t. These are abbreviations for "ye", "that", and "with".

The letters "a", "e", "o", and "u" originally printed with macrons are rendered in this Latin-1 text version with diaeresis. This notation signifies that the following sound should be "n" or "m", as in "amög", meaning "among".

Certain names such as "Mutezuma" or "Vitzilopuchtli" were generally printed in italic type, and were sometimes printed with what appears to the transcriber to be an interior capital Z, like this: "VitZilopuchtli". These have all been rendered with small z.

Occasionally commas were printed where full stops were wanted, and vice versa. These have sometimes been fixed without comment.

This book was originally printed with some incorrect page numbers. For one example, starting at page 32, the sequence of printed numbers was 32, 37, 34, 35, 40, 41, 38, 39, 37, 41, 42, 43. . . .
