Obvious misspelled words and printer errors have been corrected. Where more than one spelling occurs, the majority used word was applied but archaic spellings, if used, were maintained. Author's consistent use of “my-sen” versus Yorkshire use of “mi sen” has been maintained.

Inconsistencies in punctuation have been maintained.

The author’s use of contractions has been maintained with spaces removed where appropriate to conform to Yorkshire dialect: “for ’t” to “for’t”, “on ’t” to “on’t”, “in ’t” to “in’t”, “to ’t” to “to’t”, “of ’t” to “of’t”, “t’ other” to “t’other”, “more ’n” to “more’n”, wi’ ’t to wi’t and all “’ll” contractions have been joined including “’at ’ll” to “’at’ll”.
