TRANSCRIBER’S NOTE
The original book had decorative icons at the end of every chapter. They were missing from Chapter I, IV and VII due to lack of printing space in the book. These have been inserted in this ebook.
Obvious typographical errors and punctuation errors have been corrected after careful comparison with other occurrences within the text and consultation of external sources.
Some hyphens in words have been silently removed, some added, when a predominant preference was found in the original book.
The titles Dr, Mr and Mrs sometimes had a period (Dr. Mr. and Mrs.); this period has been removed for consistency. The abbreviation for saint (St.) sometimes was missing the period; this has been added for consistency.
Some names have several variant spellings in the book, for example:
Glen-Masan, Glen-mason, Glenmasan, Glenmason;
Cochulin, Cuchulin;
Gràine, Graine, Gràinne, Grainne.
These variants have been left unchanged.
The Index has many entries misplaced alphabetically. The printed order has been left unchanged in this etext.
Except for those changes noted below, all misspellings in the text, and inconsistent or archaic usage, have been retained.
