Transcriber’s Note
On [page 53] the line “men then in vogue he remarked how much” was omitted completely from the original printing; it has been restored by comparison with another edition.
On [page 114] the line “emancipated a race. When Abraham Lin-” was printed, in the original, in the middle of an unrelated paragraph several pages earlier; it has been moved to where it belongs.
In the [Table of Contents] an entry has been added for the story “A Clergyman Who Talked But Little”, omitted in the original.
A few other minor printing errors, of punctuation, spelling, page numbering, etc., have been corrected without note.
