Transcriber’s Note

This volume includes, after the Preface, a number of corrections and notes for the current volume, as well as volumes I and II. Those for Volume III have been highlighted in red. Moving the mouse over the highlighted text will reveal the author’s intent.The highlighted text serves as a link to the note in the ERRATA AND CORREGIENDA section.

No attempt was made to check the validity of each index entry’s references, however several of them seem spurious:

“Professor Pringle-Patterson” is referred to only in a note on p. 581, but the page mentioned in the Index is incorrectly given as p. 514.

The entry for “Thomas Love Peacock” refers to a note on p. 207, but he is mentioned in none of those notes. He is, however, mentioned in a footnote on p. 162. The page number has been changed.

The second page reference (p. 137) for Adam Smith was incorrect. The correct page is p. 157, and has been changed.

Notes

494.4: A passage (“What! ... in the “Bunyan”?) opens with a quotation mark, but employs a double quote for two quoted words, and fails to provide a closing quote.

160.11: The title of Hume’s “Essays: Moral, Political, and Literary” is partially italicized, with the last phrase in normal font as emphasis.
