Duplicate chapter headings have been removed. A list of books from the same publisher has been moved from the beginning to the end of the text.

The illustrations and maps have been moved so that they do not break up paragraphs and so that they are next the text they illustrate. Thus their locations may not match references to them in the text or in the lists of illustrations and maps.

The text uses inconsistent hyphenation: "bedclothes" and "bed-clothes"; "midday" and "mid-day"; and "midwinter" and "mid-winter". Titles are inconsistently capitalised (e.g. "Mate Des Voeux", but "mate Thostrup").

An apparent error on page 176 ("they fell on the least defenceless") has been left unchanged.

The following errors in the text have been corrected:

Page 26, "Beranger" changed to "Belanger" (Belanger lost his balance)

Page 166, quotation mark added to text ("Thereafter I arose)

Page 199, quotation marks added to text ("Jesu, lead); (me not.")

Page 300, "splended" changed to "splendid" (splendid confidence)
