Transcriber’s Notes

Obvious typographical errors have been silently corrected. Variations in hyphenation have been standardised but all other spelling and punctuation remains unchanged. In particular the spelling of proper names viz. Catharine of Arragon remain.

In chapter XI,[ page 146]:
“By the bye,” I put in, “it seems to me the
Morman has the biggest kick coming against
his wives’ mothers, yet I've never heard a word....

Morman is almost certainly Mormon or Mormon man.
