Transcriber’s Note
Some compound words (e.g., ‘wagon-master’) appeared both with and without a hyphen. They are given as printed. Where a word is hyphenated on a line break, the hyphen is retained if the preponderance of other appearances indicate it was intended. Index entries tend to not hyphenate words that are unhyphenated in the text. All variants were retained.
Footnotes are repositioned at the end of the text. They have been re-numbered consecutively and linked for convenient reference.
The book cover image was created by the transcriber and is placed in the public domain.
The word ‘coöperate’ is consistently printed with the diaeresis on the second syllable’s opening ‘o’. On p. 181, the word fell on a line break, and was hyphenated without the diaeresis. The ‘ö’ has been restored for consistency.
The total for the second table on p. 381 appears incorrectly as 16,988. The figures, as printed, add to 17,009.
On p. 401, the word ‘premptorily’, apparently an error for ‘peremptorily’ appears in a quoted passage, and is merely noted here.
Neither of the versions of ‘Quinault’ in the table on p. 504 agrees with the modern spelling. To be consistent, the second instance was changed to agree with the first, ‘Quinaiult’.
Index
There were several errors discovered in the index, which refers to both volumes. On occasion, the volume numbers ‘i’ or ‘ii’ are missing, and on occasion incorrect. These errata are included in the table below.
While these errors are corrected, no systematic attempt was made to check all entries.
The entry for ‘Daufuskie Island’ was misprinted as ‘Danfuskie’, and attributed to the wrong page (p. 282 rather than p. 382). It should have followed the entry for ‘Danpher’, just below it.
Minor punctuation lapses were silently corrected.
