Errors in punctuation and inconsistent hyphenation were not corrected unless otherwise noted. The punctuation of the mid-nineteenth century was very different to that of today; with commas, periods, and colons sometimes appearing to be used interchangeably. Such variations in punctuation were kept as-is.
The tables sometimes have ditto marks, whose meaning are somewhat ambiguous. Those ditto marks are kept as-is.
