Chapter 25:
On [Page 195], capitalized Futile in A futile Night Attack in the topics list at the beginning of Chapter 25.
On [Page 198], the phrase ships-of-war is used. There are eight occurrences of ships of war, without the hyphens, and no other case where ships of war is used with the hyphens. The inconsistency is a function of the author or publisher.
On [Page 210], flat-boats is hyphenated in the clause: and destroyed many of the flat-boats from which the troops had just disembarked. Flatboat is used three times without the hyphen: on pages 92, 93, and 263 of volume 2. On page 274, flat-boats was hyphenated and split between two lines for spacing. That usage was transcribed as flatboat as per majority vote. The usage of a hyphen on page 210 is therefore the only outlier, but we did not change it.
Chapter 26:
On [Page 246], deer-skin is spelled with a hyphen, although on [Page 334] in volume 1, there is no hyphen in deerskin. We made no changes to either word.
Chapter 27:
On [Page 259], capitalized New in A new Plan of Attack. Also capitalized Last in Wolfe's last Despatch. Both were changes in the topics list at the beginning of Chapter 27.
On [Page 274], flat-boat is hyphenated and split between two lines for spacing in the sentence: On the night of the fourth a fleet of flatboats passed above the town with the baggage and stores. We transcribed flatboats without the hyphen. See the detailed note in Chapter 25 for more details.
On [Page 293], field-pieces is hyphenated and split between two lines for spacing in the clause: for twenty-five field-pieces which were on the Palace battery. There are seven other occurrences of field-piece or field-pieces with the hyphen, and none without. We transcribed field-pieces with the hyphen.
