• [Page xix], add Indian before "Social and Political Organization" to match topics list in Table of Contents.
• [Page xxxv], in [footnote 0-18], the word "come" is printed with a straight line over the "o," not only in Volume 1, but also in Volume 7. The Library of America version of the book assumes that the line resulted from an imperfection in the plates. The assumption is not only reasonable but practical, and it is adopted here, too.
• [Page xlviii], place period after the clause "which they had so promptly assented" This period was also missing in Volume 7.
• On [Page li], Parkman added the qualifier "in most cases" to the clause "The child belongs to the clan," in the eighth volume of this title. The new clause is, "The child belongs, in most cases, to the clan,"
• On [Page lii], Parkman used the less precise "usually belonging to it" instead of "inseparable from it" in the eighth volume of this title. The new sentence reads, "This system of clanship, with the rule of descent usually belonging to it, was of very wide prevalence."
• On [Page lxv], Un doubtedly is not hyphenated and split between two lines as if two words, not just in Volume 1, but in Volume 7. There should have been a hyphen after Un-. The clause was transcribed: "Undoubtedly there was a distinct and definite effort of legislation;"
Chapter 3:
• Changed "Mission-house" to "Mission-House" in topics list beginning Chapter 3 to match topics list for Chapter 3 in the Contents.
• [Page 18]: [footnote 3-3] does not end the last sentence with a period: "et sa bonté n'a point de limites" The period was also missing in Volume 7. We did not make an emendation because of Parkman's statement in the Preface.
• [Page 21]: add period to end the sentence with the clause "sorcerer, in the tribe of the Montagnais" The period was added in Volume 7.
Chapter 4:
• [Page 24]: In [footnote 4-1], add beginning quote before Iamais: "Iamais il ne fut ..."
• [Page 26]: In [footnote 4-2], text is missing a period after ceinture, in all volumes. This was not changed, as it was in the footnote.
• [Page 30]-[Page 31]: Confirmed the spelling of "fumeé" and "fumée;" in [footnote 4-5].
• [Page 31]: Confirmed the spelling of "mais" in [footnote 4-6].
• [Page 31]: Confirmed the apostrophe in "qu'à" in [footnote 4-6].
• [Page 33]: In [footnote 4-8]: the correct word is "laisse," but "laiss" remains unchanged in accordance with Parkman's statement in the preface.
• [Page 37]: [footnote 4-11] in Volume 1 refers back to no page number in the introduction. Volume 7 & Volume 20 have the page number xliv. We replaced the blank space for the page number left in volume 1 with the page number specified in later volumes.
Chapter 6:
• On [Page 62], [Footnote 6-4] was not marked clearly in the original book used for transcription. The footnote appeared fine in Volume 1, and is rendered appropriately.
Chapter 7:
• [Page 76], [Footnote 7-5] contains the word "Atsatone8ai". The "spelling is correct." See The Old Regime in Canada for similar usage, such as "8ta8aks."
