Pg. 83, 4D1.1.    Delete the space between the first period and the
second 1[DJL]  Fixed

 

Pg. 85, 4D2.5.    Last line -- the 12 referring to the footnote should
be superscripted[DJL]  Fixed

 

Pg. 86, 4D2.5.    First example under the last paragraph -- should this
be 12/13 September 1750?[DJL]  No; by the 18c, there was an 11-day (or
is it 10 days; not sure how to count) difference between the Gregorian
and Julian calendars. This way of writing a double date which takes into
account the difference between England (still on Julian until 1752) and
the continent (already on Gregorian) is usually found in personal
letters and diary entries and the like. However, it may be found in an
imprint, and if so, should be rendered this way.

 

Pg. 88, 4D5.       Font sizes in the left column are not consistent[DJL]
fixed

 

 

 

Some suggestions about comma placement:

 

Pg. 69, 4A1.       For consistency with the other paragraphs, I would
put a comma between "colon" and "unless" in the 4th and 8th
paragraphs[DJL]  agree; added

 

Pg. 71,               5th line, comma between "importance" and
"while?"[DJL]  agree; added 

footnote 11

 

Pg. 77, 4B10.2.   2nd line, commas after "Leningrad" and St.
Petersburg?"  [DJL] agree; added

 

 

Other than these few things, the section looks good, with much fuller
explanation of the rules.
