Transcriber’s Notes
Punctuation, hyphenation, 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.
The spelling and accent marks in non-English text were not checked for
accuracy.
Index not checked for proper alphabetization or correct page references.
Page 26: Missing opening quotation marks added before “Think of it!”
and before “Well, it belonged to”.
Page 110: “Duke d’Aumule” is listed on page 313 of the Index as
“d’Aunale, Duc”. The common spelling today is “d’Aumale”.
