The Military Adventures of Johnny Newcome: With an Account of his Campaign on the Peninsula and in Pall Mall
Roberts, David
Peninsular War, 1807-1814 -- Poetry
All punctuation errors were corrected.
Inconsistent hyphenation was retained.
In List of the Plates, the capitalization of some words was changed
to match the captions in the text; “Santaren” was changed to
“Santarem”.
Illustrations that accompany Part I were moved to the end of the poem.
Illustrations that accompany the other poems were moved to stanza
breaks.
The order of the illustrations “Half Rations” and “Johnny writes an
account ...” in Part II was reversed to follow the order of the
events in the poem.
Where the location of stanza breaks was uncertain, such as at the top
of a page, the 1816 edition (see Note after the title page) was
consulted to decide their positioning.
The following spelling changes were made:
In footnote [7], “one” was changed from “One” (one Chair).
In footnote [9], “Moidore” was changed from “Moidure”.
In footnote [23], “Commander-in-Chief” was changed from
“Commander in-Chief”.
On page 58, “Devil’s” was changed from “Devils” (Devil’s own Roads).
On page 82, “Mesentery” was changed from “Mesentary”.
On page 156, “A. D. C.” was changed from “A.D.C.” (extra
A. D. C.).]
