Transcription Notes:
1874 Oct 6: "United Colonies of Demerary and Essequiro" should be "United Colony of Demerary and Essequibo" - see, for example, https://collections.museumvictoria.com.au/items/61348 - but transcribed as written.
1876 Oct 30: "Montreal of the Canadian Antiquarian" is presumably "'The Canadian Antiquarian and Numismatic Journal' published quarterly by the Numismatic and Antiquarian Society of Montreal" (as in https://archive.org/details/canadianantiqua00unkngoog).
