Punctuation, use of hyphens, and accent marks were standardized. Obsolete and alternative spellings were left unchanged. For example, the author consistently uses 'Bonarruoti' rather than the usual 'Buonarroti,' 'accessaries' for 'accessories,' and 'canvass' for 'canvas.' Spelling corrections are provided as footnotes, below.
Footnotes were moved to the end of the section to which they pertain.
