Transcriber’s Notes.
Hyphenation has been standardised.
Footnotes were moved to the ends of the text they pertain to and numbered in one continuous sequence.
The words ‘gillie’ and ‘ghillie’ have been left unchanged. Both spellings appear to be acceptable.
Other changes made are noted at the [end of the book.]
