Punctuation has been standardized. Minor spelling and typographic errors have been corrected silently, except as noted below. Hyphenated words have been retained as they appear in the original text, except as noted below.
On page 271, "at" (second one in sentence) was changed to "as". The original text was "having near at hand such attractions at Lovers’ Leap and the haunted island".
Two uses of "adverse" were left as is, although its usage implies it should be "averse".
Several pairs of words were used in both a hyphenated form and an unhyphenated form. In each case, the less frequently used form was changed to the more frequently used form. These pairs were:
"to-morrow" and "tomorrow" - unhyphenated form used
"to-night" and "tonight" - unhyphenated form used
"shot-gun" and "shotgun" - unhyphenated form used
