Page 3 - COPIES. The decipherment of old Registers is, as already pointed out, a work of considerable difficulty, and it is therefore strongly recommended that in cases where the transcribers have no great previous experience, they should obtain the help of some competent reader to collate the transcript with the original.

Page 1 - As the older writings are in a different character from that used at the present time, they are not easily deciphered, and require careful examination even from experts.
