EDINBURGH Transcriber’s Notes Punctuation and spelling were made consistent when a predominant preference was found in this book; otherwise they were not changed. 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. In this version of this eBook, dashes between multiple locations and within numeric ranges are shown as en-dashes (–), which are longer than hyphens (-) but shorter than double-em-dashes (——), which are used for visual clarity where the original book used single em-dashes as delimiters. Index not checked for proper alphabetization or correct page references. Page 99: “Ronar’ch’s” is a misprint for “Ronarc’h’s”. Page 272: The Index reference to General Gallieni and the battle of the Ourcq did not include a page number. End of Project Gutenberg's The Battle of the Marne, by George Herbert Perris
