Simple typographical errors were corrected; occasional unbalanced quotation marks were corrected when the placement was obvious.
Ambiguous hyphens at the ends of lines were retained; occurrences of inconsistent hyphenation have not been changed.
Testimonies, Affidavits, the Names Index, and the Tables of Exhibits follow strict style conventions, so deviations from those conventions have been corrected during transcription. Most other errors, particularly of a factual nature, have not been changed, but some are mentioned later in these notes.
These kinds of style errors have been corrected when found:
Punctuation errors such as double commas and obviously mismatched quotation marks have been corrected. Punctuation has been standardized to follow the predominant usage in this book.
Missing periods after honorifics (e.g., “Mr” instead of “Mr.”) have been added.
Missing and misprinted periods after speakers’ names (these always are the first words in a paragraph, e.g., “Mr. Griffin” instead of “Mr. Griffin.”) have been added, unless followed by parenthetical remarks.
Misspelled names have been corrected when the correct spelling of those names frequently occur elsewhere in the text. Single, possibly misspelled references to third parties have not been changed, but some of them may be noted below.
Within the Names Index and the tables of Exhibits at the beginning and end of the book, punctuation followed a strict pattern. Occasional misprints deviating from this pattern have been corrected.
No attempt was made to identify incorrect volume or page references within the Index and Tables of Exhibits, but a few obvious ones that happened to be noticed during transcription have been corrected.
