TRANSCRIBER’S NOTE
The original book had decorative icons at the end of every chapter.
They were missing from Chapter I, IV and VII due to lack of printing
space in the book. These have been inserted in this ebook.
Obvious typographical errors and punctuation errors have been
corrected after careful comparison with other occurrences within
the text and consultation of external sources.
Some hyphens in words have been silently removed, some added,
when a predominant preference was found in the original book.
The titles Dr, Mr and Mrs sometimes had a period (Dr. Mr. and Mrs.);
this period has been removed for consistency. The abbreviation for
saint (St.) sometimes was missing the period; this has been added
for consistency.
Some names have several variant spellings in the book, for example:
Glen-Masan, Glen-mason, Glenmasan, Glenmason;
Cochulin, Cuchulin;
Gràine, Graine, Gràinne, Grainne.
These variants have been left unchanged.
The Index has many entries misplaced alphabetically. The printed
order has been left unchanged in this etext.
Except for those changes noted below, all misspellings in the text,
and inconsistent or archaic usage, have been retained.
