[Continued from page 192, vol. II., De .. 1881. As heretofore *** will indicate whey portions of the original are not transcribe! and a [ ] will inclose all words or marks t. found in the original. The spelling and tu use of capitals will also conform strictly te the original minutes. And it may be well! remember that those who inscribed thex minutes lived before the days of our bon? age to an arbitrary system of spelling a system which is often as absurd as it a etymologically false, a great barrier is the education of every child and a disgrad to the English language. In punctuatiet some liberty will be taken, since the origa nal pointing is mainly limited to the peri and the dash ; a paucity which would need- lessly obscure the meaning for a readrt whose eyes are accustomed only to a mode. page.]
