Some words have been represented in the print version as the first three letters of the word followed by the last letter as a superscript and with a dot underneath. The dot has been left out in the html and e-book versions in order to be compatible with most devices and browsers.

On p. 59, a presumed printer's error has been corrected:
"She seems 'em now!" (as printed in the original) has been changed to
"She sees 'em now!" (in this version)

On p. [201], the date 1543 has been changed to 1534. This can be fairly presumed to be the intended date based on historical occurrences referred to and based on the continuity of entries.

Spelling and use of italics is inconsistent throughout the text. These inconsistencies have been retained in this version.
