Transcriber’s Notes

Punctuation, hyphenation, and spelling were made consistent when a predominant preference was found in the original book; otherwise they were not changed.

Simple typographical errors were corrected; missing quotation marks at the beginnings of chapters were left unbalanced; a missing one within a paragraph was added.

The Table of Contents had no page numbers.

“Major Barbara” is listed in the Table of Contents, but thereafter is mentioned only once, in a sentence on [page 99].

“Johnnisfeuer” may be a misspelling for “Johannisfeuer.”

[Page 7]: “a chilly, waspish pig” was printed that way, but it may be a misprint for “a chilly, waspish prig”.

[Page 15]: “Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde” was printed that way, but it is a misprint for “Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde”.

[Pages 49] and [98]: “The Admirable Bashville, or Constancy Rewarded” was printed that way, but is a misprint for “The Admirable Bashville, or Constancy Unrewarded”.
