TRANSCRIBERS NOTES:
Some arcane spellings retained where verified as correct for the time of publication or quote, such as 'musquitoes', 'plaintain', 'mettals', 'felspar', etc.
Italian quotations sometimes include phrases such as "sull' Etna" or "dell' Asia". There should be no space after the apostrophes but spaces are often present. This may have been done to better space the text during justification. Such errors have not been corrected.
The document is inconsistent in the use of commas where quoting numbers of over 1,000; sometimes they are used and sometimes they are not used. These inconsistencies remain.
Addition of full-stops where omitted within text outlining chapter highlights; page ix after 'Silvestri', page x after 'Eruptions' and '1408', page xi after 'microscope', page 79 after '812'.
Corrected 'ength' to 'length' on page 4.
Corrected 't'jncedie' to 't'incedie' on page 12; its leading e has a tilde symbol over it but this has been omitted. Similarly, treblement has been transcribed without a tilde symbol over its leading e.
Transcribed 'Guiseppe' as 'Giuseppe' on pages 17 and 144 since this is a more usual form.
Added missing endquotes to quotation by Professor Jukes on page 27.
Inserted full-stop after '(S.W.)', page 29, to end sentence.
Corrected 'f' to 'of' on final line of page 33.
Corrected 'of-course' to 'of course', page 42.
Corrected 'unusally' to 'unusually', page 44.
Corrected 'subsequenly' to 'subsequently', page 59.
Corrected 'athough' to 'although', page 64.
Numbered list of eruptions repeats item 5, then jumps to seven on page 82. Corrected to numeric order.
'In the 1329' corrected to 'In the year 1329', page 85.
'the time analcite' corrected to 'the term analcite', page 127.
Corrected 'magnitite' to 'magnetite', page 140.
Corrected 'Miscroscopic' to 'Microscopic', page 145.
