Silently corrected a few palpable typos; left intentionally non-standard spellings and dialect unchanged.
Only in the text versions, delimited italicized text (or non-italicized text within poetry) in _underscores_ (the HTML version reproduces the font form of the printed book.)
Omitted marginal line numbers (which must be dynamic in the electronic edition), but turned endnotes into hyperlinks.
