At the top of p. 28, the conclusion of the paragraph is punctuated inconsistently. Either the quotation begun on the preceding page should end after the words 'key bugle', or at the end of the paragraph. In the latter case, the quotation marks are incorrect. The passage is left as printed.

On p. 51, the paragraph beginning 'The old riddle' is likewise compromised by faulty punctuation. In this case, the nested quotations on p. 52 are corrected for consistency. However, it is not clear where the quotation ends.

An index entry for “Mails to Scotland” is incorrectly referenced to p. 407, which does not exist. It is most likely meant to refer to the discussion of the mail train to Scotland on p. 73, and the entry is accordingly revised.

In most instances, apparent errors appear in quoted material, and have not been corrected. Errors deemed most likely to be the printer’s have been corrected, and are noted here. The references are to the page and line in the original.
