In addition to this, minor punctuation errors have been corrected
without comment. A few instances of missing opening or closing
parenthesis or quotation marks have also been corrected without note.
All other variations in spelling or inconsistent hyphenation have been
retained as they appear in the original book.
Also worth mentioning is that throughout this book there are a number of
factual errors and misspellings of names. These have also been retained
as they appear in the original, text except for in the cases mentioned
above where they have been altered for consistency (for example: General
Robert Edmund Lee born 1806 is in fact General Robert Edward Lee born 1807
and Jacob Boehmen's name is in fact Jakob Boehme).
