Transcriber's note: Minors spelling inconsistencies - mainly
hyphenated words - have been harmonised.

Obvious printer errors have been corrected, but the original
regional spelling of "properpty" (in "Clegg Hall") has been
retained.

Letters after the sign ^ should be read as superscript. Example
Edw^d, where the "d" is superscript.

Some chapters start with illustrations. In the original book
those illustrations are not named. Here they are named after
their chapters.

The Latin numbers (i, ii, etc.) behind some words or expressions
refer to the transcriber's notes at the end of this e-book.
