THE END Transcriber's Note The table below describes the various issues encountered in the preparation of this text. Where there are other instances of a misspelled word, it is assumed to be a printer's error, and was corrected. Other dubious cases are merely noted here. Hyphenated words are given as printed. Where the hyphenation occurred at a line break, it was removed if there were other unhyphenated instances. The spelling of "Pittsburgh" in Chapter XI varies. Historically, the final 'h' has come and gone, removed and restored by Post Office fiat. By the time of the publication of this text, it had been restored for good, but it seems the 'h'-less spelling still had some currency. The word 'lantine' on p. 115 is most likely a corruption of 'latrine', but has been allowed to stand. p. ap[p]licants Added. p. 40 itiner[e/a]nt Corrected. p. 54 repellant _sic._ p. 89 and he said, ["/']I'll fix 'em!["/'] Nested quotes. p. 92 floatsam _sic._ p. 115 lantine _sic._ 'Latrine'? p. 116 forgetfullness _sic._ p. 119 accom[m]odate Added.
