Transcriber’s Note

On p. 40, the transcription of an advertisement refers to ‘fricapee’ dancing, which is likely a misprint for ‘fricassee’, which appears later in the same advertisement and is, it seems, an old French folk dance. The apparent error has been allowed to stand.

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. The following issues should be noted, along with the resolutions.

71.20	shall the fool reply, “Then I do,[’/”]	Replaced.
307.28	The sum collected is the ‘nob.[’]	Added.
