Punctuation and spelling were made consistent when a predominant preference was found in this book; otherwise they were not changed. Simple typographical errors were corrected, often after referencing other printings or editions of this book. Occasional unpaired quotation marks have been retained unless the position of the missing one was obvious. Ambiguous hyphens at the ends of lines were retained. Extraneous commas were retained. Illustrations have been moved closer to the relevant text. Text uses both "BÖlognese" and "Bolognese", "BÖlogna" and "Bologna". Chapter IX does not have a section VII. This appears to be a misprint, not missing text. Footnotes have been collected and repositioned just before the Index. Page references in the Index were not checked for accuracy. Illustrations: The two illustrations listed as facing page 93 were missing from the 1908 edition of this book, but were present in the 1905 edition, and have been added to this eBook.

Page 165: "Bagnuolo" is spelled "Bagunolo" in footnote 217 (originally 2). Page 199: "August, 1852" probably should be "1252". Page 220: "instance of Pope" probably should be "insistance".

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 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 |
