Original spelling and grammar have been generally retained, with some exceptions noted below. Original printed page numbers are shown like this: {52}. Footnotes have been renumbered 1ã663 and relocated to the end of the book, ahead of the Index. The transcriber produced the cover image and hereby assigns it to the public domain. Original page images are available from archive.orgãsearch for ãongrowthform1917thomã.
Some tables and illustrations have been moved from their original locations within paragraphs of text to nearby locations between paragraphs. This includes, for example, the full-page table printed on page 67, which page number is removed from these ebook editions. Some other tables and illustrations have been left where they originally lay, in the middle of paragraphs of text.
Some, but not all ditto marks, including ãdo.ã, have been eliminated. Enlarged curly brackets {ã₤} turned horizontal, used as graphic devices to combine information in two or more columns of a table, have been eliminated. Enlarged curly brackets used as graphic devices to suggest combination of information over two or more lines of text, have been eliminated. For example, on page 75, in the last column of the table, two lengths, 490 and 500, were printed, the latter under the former, with a large right curly bracket combining them. The transcriber has changed that construction to ã490ã500ã, taking the original to mean a range.
