Obvious typographical errors and punctuation errors have been corrected after careful comparison with other occurrences within the text and consultation of external sources.
Many words with hyphens, or without them, have been silently adjusted to be more consistent. For example, instances of ‘head quarters’ have been made ‘head-quarters’; ‘bedroom’ has been changed to ‘bed-room’; ‘fire-arms’ has been changed to ‘firearms’.
For consistency, instances of A.M. or P.M. have been made lower case a.m. or p.m.
