Spelling variations were made consistent when a predominant preference was found in this book; otherwise they were not changed.

There were many occurrences of unusual or unexpected punctuation and capitalization (or lack thereof); they were not changed.

Simple typographical errors were corrected; unbalanced quotation marks were remedied when the proper placement was unambiguous.

Ambiguous hyphens at the ends of lines were retained; occurrences of inconsistent hyphenation have not been changed.
