M.)
Page 62, "route" changed to "rout" (the rout that followed)
Page 75, "Melchizedek" was hyphenated as "Melchi-zedek" on this page in
the original text to show its similarity to "Adoni-zedek". This was
retained.
Page 78, "Tor" changed to "Tôr" (Jebel Abu Tôr (Hill of Evil Counsel))
Page 79, "1." added to text. (1. The _Birket Mamilla_)

Page 137, "tables" changed to "tablets" (for the stone tablets of)
Page 144, "160" changed to "180" (Dead Sea, 180 miles)
Page 148, the text defines a "cab" as being "96 cubic inches, or 675
thousandths of a quart". This does not seem possible but the transcriber
could not ascertain what was meant. An earlier version of this text uses
this same definition.
Pages 151-154, entries in this index match the map but not always the
text. For example, the text refers to Beth Jesimoth which the index and
map names as Beth-jeshimoth. It is Dhibân in the text but Dhiban on the
map and the map's index. Names in the map index were not always in
alphabetical order. This was retained.
Page 157, "Keilah" moved to alphabetical placement. Originally listed
after "Kenites."
Page 157, "Miletus" moved to alphabetical placement. Originally listed
after "Michmash."
Page 157, "Misraim" changed to "Mizraim" (Mizraim, 25) This entry was
also moved to reflect its corrected spelling.
The original table of contents seems to have been taken from an earlier edition
without the printers updating the chart section. This only affects the Chart of
Bible History. The rest of the Table of Contents is identical.
