  Cover created by Transcriber and placed in the Public Domain. Punctuation, hyphenation, and spelling were made consistent when a predominant preference was found in the original book; otherwise they were not changed. Several periods in unexpected places have not been changed. Simple typographical errors were corrected silently; unpaired quotation marks were remedied when the change was obvious, and otherwise left unpaired. Ambiguous situations are documented below. Unpaired quotation marks on pages 87, 174, 187, 196, 202, 206, 208, 213 and 355 were not changed. Archaic placement of quotation marks in poetry on page 132 and 157 was changed to meet current conventions. Footnotes have been collected, resequenced, and moved to the end of the book, following the advertisements. Page 79: “sleeping-off” was printed with the hyphen. Page 108: “who sang as well as Fayditt himself,” originally ended with a period. In context, that seemed to be a misprint, and the Transcriber changed it to a comma. Page 117: “Bolingbroke” and page 118: “Bonligbroke”, appear to refer to the same person. Page 136: “gard and gentlewomen” was printed that way; may be a misprint for “garb”. Page 140: Missing closing quotation mark added after “both dead and rotten.” Page 164: “her maidenly qualities. the subjoined paragraphs” was printed that way; at least one word, perhaps “In”, seems to be missing after the period. Page 193: “His middle thick. as I have said before;” was printed that way. Either the period should be a comma or “as” should be capitalized. The X’s on pages 200 and 217 represent signature marks. Page 203: “If I can obtain this, I rest” ended without a period. This may have been intentional. Page 224: “3lbs.” was printed without a space. Page 279: “an odd man” was printed that way, but perhaps was intended to be “an old man”. Page 289: Both “Angoulevent” and “Angoulement” are used to refer to the same person. Page 319: Both “Perettus” and “Perretus” are used to refer to the same person.

Email contact links and up to date contact information can be found at the Foundation's web site and official page at www.gutenberg.org/contact For additional contact information: The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate. While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who approach us with offers to donate. International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: www.gutenberg.org |
