Errors and Inconsistencies
French and Italian quotations are shown as printed, including obvious
errors. Most English spellings are unchanged, including:
fulfil; mattrass; visiter; pourtray; Genessee; wo
The use of "filial" for "parental" and the random variation between
"meantime" and "mean time" are also unchanged. In Chapter XXVII,
"team-boat" is not an error. Larger-scale errors of fact are noted in
the parallel version of the text.
