PRODUCTION NOTES:Notes referred to in the book (*) are shown in square brackets ([])at the end of the paragraph in which the note is indicated.References to the charts have been retained though the charts are notreproduced in the ebook.The original punctuation and spelling and the use of italics andcapital letters to highlight words and phrases have, for the mostpart, been retained. I think they help maintain the "feel" of thebook, which was published nearly 200 years ago. Flinders notes inthe preface that "I heard it declared that a man who published aquarto volume without an index ought to be set in the pillory, andbeing unwilling to incur the full rigour of this sentence, a runningtitle has been affixed to all the pages; on one side is expressedthe country or coast, and on the opposite the particular part wherethe ship is at anchor or which is the immediate subject of examination;this, it is hoped, will answer the main purpose of an index, withoutswelling the volumes." This treatment is, of course, not possible,where there are no defined pages. However, Flinders' page headingsare included at appropriate places where they seem relevant. These,together with the Notes which, in the book, appear in the margin,are represented as line headings with a blank line before and after them.
