FOOTNOTES:
[A] At the word flag give the salute by raising the right hand to the forehead.
[B] Pronounced nū-mō´nē-ā.
Transcriber’s Notes:
Obvious punctuation errors repaired. The table of contents uses the œ ligature in Phœbe Cary’s name. In the text it’s italic and the transcriber assumes that the printer didn’t have an italic ligature. As we’re not constrained by that, all instances of Phœbe Cary’s name now have the ligature.
Page xi, “Dresmaker’s” changed to “Dressmaker’s” (At the Dressmaker’s)
Page 166, the pronunciation key for petroleum uses a dot and macron combination above the two es in the text. As this is not a character available to us, the macron and acute have been substituted: ḗ.
