Is there a way to replicate in LaTeX these 'traditional' (19th century) British footnotes, which are 1) first vertically stacked, then horizontally added and 2) centred on the page, with 3) the annoying extra (accurate to old texts) that the vertical 'stacking' commences *only* when the number of footnotes >2?
