TRANSCRIBER’S NOTE
For consistency all occurrences of a.m. and p.m. have been changed to A.M. and P.M.
Icelandic names often have accents and hyphens, but they are applied inconsistently in the original text. Names in the etext have been adjusted to be consistent and follow the most common variant in the text. For example Reykjahlid, Reykjahlið, Reykjahlíð, have all been rendered as Reykjahlíð.
Five occurrences of Öskjagjá have been changed to Öskjugjá.
Eight occurrences of Dyngjufjall have been changed to Dyngjufjöll.
Seven occurrences of Reykjahlaíð have been changed to Reykjahlíð.
Obvious typographical errors and punctuation errors have been corrected after careful comparison with other occurrences within the text and consultation of external sources.
Except for those changes noted below, all misspellings in the text, and inconsistent or archaic usage, have been retained: for example, sandbank, sand-bank; mid-day, midday; grass land, grass-land; under weigh; negociated; felspar; enwrapped; indurated; coign.
