There are quite a few instances of missing punctuation. The conventional
period following the character’s name is sometimes missing and has been
added for consistency’s sake without further comment. Those missing from
setting and stage direction are also added without comment, since there
is no obvious purpose to be served by the omission. However, the
restoration of punctuation missing from dialogue is noted below, since
the punctuation is frequently expressive.
Errors deemed most likely to be the printer’s have been corrected, and
are noted below. The references are to the page and line in the
original.
In the Introduction to _The League of Youth_, mention is made of a
‘usually long’ pause before publication of the work, but based on the
following discussion, the word was certainly meant to be ‘unusually’.
Volume I of this series included errata for each succeeding volume, and
noted one correction for Volume VI. On p. 288, ‘railways’ should have
been ‘railway’. The correction is applied here.
