As an additional resource, the American edition published by George H.
Doran in 1916 was also used. Scans of this edition are posted by the
Internet Archive at:

The right margins of several page scans of the Unwin edition available
through the Hathi Trust were cut off, so the Doran edition was used to
correct for the missing text. No attempt was made to list all these
corrections.

-- Cover: The cover image is from the Doran edition.
-- p. 20: what you want, that you shall have. . .--Added an additional
period at the end of the sentence in keeping with the Doran edition.

"in".

a hyphen between "well" and "shaped".
