Transcriber’s Note

This is the second volume of Biographia Epistolaris. The index refers to both volumes. However, only those pages in the present volume could be linked to their references. These include those in the Appendix, but not in the Preface, which appeared in the first volume.

Volume 1 can be found at Project Gutenberg with the following address:

There were a number of minor corrections made, which are described in the Notes to be found at the end of this text.

Footnotes have been gathered at the end of the text, renumbered to be unique, and have been linked for convenient access.
