Errors in the text have been corrected where they are reasonably attributable to the printer or editor, or where the same word appears as expected elsewhere. Where the issue can be attributed to the idiosynchronies of the author or the era, the text as printed has been retained. Punctuation is frequently missing at the end of sentences and especially paragraphs, and has been supplied here. The use of quotation marks is also erratic at times, and where the voices can be followed, they have been disambiguated.

Corrections made to the text appear underlined as corrected text. The original text appears when the mouse hovers on the underlined word or phrase. The details of each correction are noted below.
