Transcriber’s Notes

Punctuation, hyphenation, and spelling were made consistent within each article when a predominant preference was found in that article; otherwise, they were not changed.

Simple typographical errors were corrected; unbalanced quotation marks were remedied when the change was obvious, and otherwise left unbalanced.

Duplicate hemi-titles were removed.

Table of Contents: replaced ditto marks with the actual words above them.

The index was not systematically checked for proper alphabetization or correct page references.

[Page 352]: “singled out” was printed as “signalled out”; changed here.

[Page 388]: “full-fledged” was printed as “full-edged”; changed here.

[Page 573]: “New York Herald” was misprinted as “New York World”; changed here.

[Page 576]: “mediocity” was printed that way; may be a misprint for either “mediocrity” “meritocracy.”

[Page 576], under “State, business and”: “corporations” was misprinted as “co-operations”; changed here.
