	Transcription Transcription is letter for letter, retaining the case of the original, but not text sizes; italics are preserved; the spellings and grammar have not been altered. Hyphenation across a line break is difficult to resolve, as the author, or the typesetter, is not consistent. Thus, you might find water-fall and waterfall in different parts of the text, and if this is split across a line break with a hyphen it is not clear whether the hyphen should be kept or not.
	Indexing An attempt has been made to index this work; keywords have been allocated to each page of the transcript. Many index keys include the placename and its locality or civil parish, matching the place identifier in the Old Cumbria Gazetteer; where William Green's spelling is different from today's the index key is his term plus the current spelling in brackets. Index keys are provided even if there is little information about the place in the text; informative text is added to the place entry in the Old Cumbria Gazetteer.
