Transcription Notes:
I'm double spacing between entries to help with readability; entries seem to continue over double-page spread, and I wonder if these should be transcribed as two separate pages or as a single page in order to keep the information together. (I'm sending a question in to SI about this.)
-- Beth
I think transcribing as a single page would help with readability. I changed the headings on this page to reflect headings on similar tables I've been transcribing. (See Register of Registrars Vol. 2., Page 15 for an 8 column example.) Of course, that means adding the 3 columns from page 2 to make it just a 1 page, 8 or 9 column table. I'd already completed most of the Vol. 2 headings before reading your note about submitting the question to SI. Will want to learn what response you receive. Thanks.--Jlch
Yes, this page should be treated as a single page. Thanks for checking Beth. Transcription Team.
