Transcriber’s Notes:
Punctuation and spelling were changed only where the error appears to be a printing error. Inconsistent hyphenation was retained as there are numerous authors. The punctuation changes are too numerous to list; the others are as follows:
“tha the” changed to “that he” on page 292. ([it is essential that he present])
“Ithink” changed to “I think” on page 312. ([I think it will be great benefit])
“Taladega” changed to “Talladega” in the entry for [Hubbardston] on page 315.
Ditto marks in tables were replaced with the text they represent, in order to help the text line up properly in all media.
