P. 291, "Bill" Nye; original had no footnote marker. The marker for footnote 3 was added by the transcriber.

P. 297, "Nightingale" sketches, of which one is here given," originally was placed between "eight or ten years he en-" and "deared himself to the readers." The misplaced line has been repositioned correctly.

P. 299, index; "Thomas, Herbert Dickinson," was listed in the "D"s in the original; retained.
