Errors deemed most likely to be the printer’s have been corrected, and are noted here. The references are to the page and line in the original. The issues tabulated below should be noted, along with the resolutions.

Variants of proper names have been replaced with the most commonly accepted version, in order to facilitate text searches.

The formatting and punctuation in the Index, which covers all four volumes, has been normalized where necessary to follow the intended styles.

There were a number of instances in the text where quoted material was missing either an opening or closing quotation mark. The proper placement is not always obvious, but the most plausible choice has been made in each case.

One instance occurs on p. [247], when Las Cases is paraphrasing a passage from Barry O’Meara’s book Napolean in Exile: the passage beginning ‘only wanted to make’ is as suitable a place as any to re-assume the quotation and make sense of the closing quotation mark several lines later.
