IRELAND.

The main part of the work (chapters and sections of the said ‘memoirs’) work has been here divided into roughly equal the 24 digital files listed numerically above. These contain links to the previous and the next file in the navigation bar at the bottom of each with a further link to this index at the top. The reader may thus access successive parts of the book either through the numbered index or a copy of the printed Contents page, which sits below the Dedicatory Letter in the printed original [as infra] and the copy given above [as supra].

Appendix & Index: Much of Musgrave’s book is occupied by the appendices which are printed in a section with its own numeration (166pp.). This is followed by an Index without page numbers (i.e., [8]pp.). These are both presented in separate files accessible through the Digital Index [as supra].

The archaic ‘s’ font which resembles ‘f’ is to be found everwhere in Musgrave’s book and has been largely retained in this copy. The chief variations from the printer’s style incl. the substitition of ‘Sir’ for ‘fir’ and the contract of with Mc. or Mac (each with a space following) which are given as separate words in Musgrave. The pound sign ‘£’ [pount sterling] has also been introduced in place of the the older ‘l.’ used by the printer - e.g., £600 for his 600l. - while spellings common in the period such as ‘recal’ for ‘recall’, along with spellings and mispellings peculiar to Musgrave such as ‘aid-de-camp’ and ‘synonimous’ have been retained for interest and occasionally marked [sic].
