As a quick note, it's a little more easily available than it used to
be - if you have access to the current Oxford DNB, they've implemented
a system whereby each article is discreetly linked to a copy of the
"original" text. (I don't know how precise a copy, or if it's been at
all edited or modified)

I don't know when this came into practice, but I only encountered it
last month. Might prove handy for your transcription checking!
