[Transcriber's Note]
Simple typographical errors were corrected.
Punctuation and spelling variations within quotations likely are due to having been written by different people, in some cases for literary effect, and have not been changed. Such variations within the author's own text have been regularized when a predominant preference was found, and otherwise have not been changed.
[Preface], last line "State College, Pennsylvania,": this edition omitted the date that appears on the next line in another edition: "July 31, 1915."
Page [30]: Transcriber added a closing quotation mark after the end of the last line of poetry on the page.
Page [42]: "wanted local color." probably was meant to end with a comma, not with a full stop.
Page [89]: "Sketch Book, "Castilian Days" refers to John Hay's "Castilian Days," which has been likened to a sketch book in other books.
