Minor typographical errors have been corrected without note. Other
errors are noted below.
Corrections in the spelling of names were made when those could
be verified. Otherwise the variations were left as they were.
Ambiguous hyphens at the ends of lines were retained. Word
combinations that appeared with and without hyphens were changed
to the predominant form if it could be determined, or to the
hyphenated form if it could not.
Mid-paragraph illustrations have been moved between paragraphs
and some illustrations have been moved closer to the text that
references them. The paginations in the List of Illustrations
have been adjusted accordingly.
‡ indicates a caption added by the transcriber. ([‡Illustration:
Journey of the Forefathers]).
Footnotes were moved to the end of chapters and numbered in one
continuous sequence.
Correction: Cecoram changed to Cezoram (page 118).
