Original spelling and grammar are generally retained, with some exceptions noted below. Original page numbers look like this: {36}. Scanned page images of the original book are available from archive.org, search for henleystwentieth00hiscrich. Illustrations have been moved from within paragraphs to nearby locations between paragraphs. The transcriber produced the cover image and hereby places it in the public domain. Large curly brackets “{}” intended to combine information over more than one line of text have been removed, replaced by appropriate text to retain the original meaning.

Pages 787–807. The Index as originally printed uses white space indents to combine information on multiple lines. It is sometimes obscure, and possibly inconsistent. Many of the entries indent about 7% of column width per word meant to be repeated. The entry starting with “Wood Gilding” on page 807 is an example of inconsistency: the 14% indent for the sixth line “Stain for” evidently refers back to the first line, so that “Wood Gilding,” is to be understood as repeated, but more often, it seems, the indents refer back to the line immediately preceeding. In this edition, the white space indents have been converted to em dashes, one dash per word to be understood as repeated.
Page 797. The link for Lichen Removers is changed from page 4 to page 209.
