TRANSCRIBER’S NOTE
Some illustrations were in the middle of a multipage paragraph, and a new paragraph has been inserted to allow placement of the illustration at that position. This has been done at:
[page 25], before the phrase ‘Buchanan, even in the latter ...’.
[page 435], before the phrase ‘On either side of the above ...’.
The illustration on [page 455] was sideways in the original book, and has been rotated to be horizontal in the etext.
Footnote [266] is referenced from inside Footnote [265].
Footnote [337] is referenced twice from [page 398].
Obvious typographical errors and punctuation errors have been corrected after careful comparison with other occurrences within the text and consultation of external sources.
With a few exceptions noted below, names of people and places with alternative spellings have been left unchanged. For example Badajos, Badajoz; Gillespic, Gillespie; Pampluna, Pampeluna, Pamplona.
Except for those changes noted below, all misspellings in the text, and inconsistent or archaic usage, have been retained. For example, battlefield, battle field; black-mail, blackmail; boer, boor; fusiliers, fusileers; woful; inclosed; infeft; newcome; connexion.
