The printed book was typeset and proofread more carefully than most books of similar literary quality. Changes listed in the author's Errata slip (inserted at the beginning of the book) have been made in the e-text. Unusual spellings, and inconsistent use of "American" and "British" forms, are unchanged. Some words occur both with and without hyphen. _Errors Noted by Author_ PAGE 82 Read--"was extended him." 154 "senk" should read "_seek_." 156 "took" is unnecessary. 179 Read "which _calls_ it forth." 184 "ofthand" should be "offhand." _Additional Errors_ The present owner is only son [_text unchanged: missing "the"?_] whose pretentions were so cleverly carried out [_spelling unchanged_] the partakers in drawing-room _tetè-a-tetès_ [_text unchanged: expected form is "tête-a-têtes" (circumflex accent on first "e", no acute on second)_] the impostury of position is petty [imposury] "Just seven days and I shall be fettered [_open quote missing_] tempted with her enhancing beauty [_text unchanged: error for "entrancing"?_] If my manner have changed in any way [_text unchanged: "have" may be correct_] every care and watchfulness was extended him [_corrected by author from "were extended him"; "were" is technically correct_] This Rachel punctually obeyed.
