Transcriber’s Notes
Punctuation and spelling were made consistent when a predominant preference was found in this book; otherwise they were not changed.
Simple typographical errors were corrected; occasional unbalanced quotation marks retained.
Ambiguous hyphens at the ends of lines were retained; occurrences of inconsistent hyphenation have not been changed. In particular, “to-day”, “today”, and similar words were printed both ways. When hyphenated versions of those words appeared at the ends of lines, the hyphens were retained.
[Index] not checked for proper alphabetization or correct page references. All references to pages in the [Preface] were incorrect; the links have been adjusted to point to the first page of the Preface.
Page [33], Footnote [34]: Uses both “Tisbe” and “Tisbé”.
Page [172], Footnote [107]: “I am unable to bring me a present” probably is a misprint for “bring you a present”.
Page [198], Footnote [125]: “Sogno” was misprinted as “Songo”; changed here.
The [Index] refers to footnotes by the pages on which they originally appeared. In versions of this eBook that use hyperlinks, those references remain page-oriented; they do not link to specific footnotes.
Footnotes originally appeared at the bottoms of pages and were numbered within chapters. In this eBook, they have been moved to the end, following the Index, and renumbered in a single sequence.
