Transcriber’s Note: Index entries showing abbreviated page ranges were written out in full. For example: “294–5” was changed to “294–295.” The index entry for “Plumstead, naming of a street in” pointed to page 282, but there is no page 282. It has been corrected to page 283. Missing or obscured punctuation was silently corrected. Typographical errors were silently corrected. Inconsistent spelling and hyphenation were made consistent only when a predominant form was found in this book.
