reads the work.
Transcriber’s Notes
Punctuation and spelling were made consistent when a predominant
preference was found in this book; otherwise they were not changed.
This book was published in 1844, so some words may have been spelled
differently than they are now.
Simple typographical errors were corrected; occasional unbalanced
quotation marks retained.
Ambiguous hyphens at the ends of lines were retained; occurrences of
inconsistent hyphenation have not been changed.
Most of the _Errata_ on the last page of the book have been corrected
within the text; the change to page 163 was not made because it was
ambiguous.
Page 132: “Hopson’s choice” probably is a misprint for “Hobson’s
choice”.
Page 153: “smooth and melodies” was printed that way.
Page 168: “De gustibus non disputandum” is a misquotation for “De
gustibus non est disputandum”.
