Chapter V
• Page 90:
Tree-tops is hyphenated and split between two lines for spacing in the
clause "watching the birds in the treetops of Elmwood." On page 245,
tree-tops was spelled with a hyphen, so we kept the hyphen here.
• Page 98:
Stout-hearted is hyphenated and split between two lines in the clause:
"the stout-hearted old pioneer could afford to bide his time." On page
84, a variation of the word includes the hyphen: "his stout-heartedness
in disaster." Therefore, we retained the hyphen.
Chapter VI
• Page 133:
Poll-tax is hyphenated and split between two lines for spacing. We kept
the hyphen.
• Page 137:
Wolf-like is hyphenated and split between two lines for spacing. We kept
the hyphen.
• Page 138:
Post-office is hyphenated and split between two lines for spacing. We
kept the hyphen.
Chapter VII
• Page 145:
On Page 145, Hawthorne's The Snow-Image contained a hyphen, but the same
title on page 148 did not have a hyphen: The Snow Image.
• Page 153:
Fellow-men was hyphenated and split between two lines for spacing. There
was no other usage of the word in the book. We transcribed the word
without the hyphen, fellowmen.
• Page 172:
The First Snow-Fall was hyphenated and split between two lines for
spacing. There was no other usage of that title in the book. We
transcribed the word with the hyphen, The First Snow-Fall.
Chapter IX
• Page 208:
Epoch-making is hyphenated and split between two lines for spacing. On
page 184, the hyphen was used, so we retained it here.
