Transcriber’s Notes
Punctuation, hyphenation, and spelling were made consistent when a
predominant preference was found in the original book; otherwise they
were not changed.
Simple typographical errors were corrected; unbalanced quotation
marks were remedied when the change was obvious, and otherwise left
unbalanced.
Illustrations in this eBook have been positioned between paragraphs
and outside quotations. In versions of this eBook that support
hyperlinks, the page references in the List of Illustrations lead to
the corresponding illustrations.
Footnotes, originally at the bottoms of pages, have been collected,
renumbered, and placed just before the Index.
The index was not checked for proper alphabetization or correct page
references.
Index entries were printed in boldface in the original book, but
representing boldface in the Plain Text version of this eBook would
make the Index harder to read, so that representation has been omitted
here. The HTML versions of this eBook do use boldface.
Page 22: “During the reigns of Alfred and his brother” should be “son”.
