Page [44]: “the tenth commandment” probably should be “amendment”.

Page [195] does not have a “Second” order.

Page [256]: “rule of political action.” should end with a question mark, not with a period.

Page [244]: “acknowledgment” in “as a grateful acknowledgment” was misprinted. It was spelled correctly in Lincoln’s original handwritten letter and that spelling is used here.

Page [376]: “reportively replied” was incompletely printed with empty space before “portively”. Transcriber added “re” as it seemed to be the best fit.

Page [386]: “homely often” was incompletely printed with empty space before “omely”. Transcriber added “h” as it seemed to be the best fit.

Page [409]: “wholly good; almost every” originally had a period after “good”. Changed here to a semi-colon, but perhaps the following word should have been capitalized instead, as “Almost”.
