Transcribers' Note
Punctuation 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 unpaired quotation marks were retained.
Ambiguous hyphens at the ends of lines were retained.
Two occurrences of "strown" retained; text mostly uses "strewn".
Two occurrences of "Welch" retained; text mostly uses "Welsh".
Text uses both "before-time" and "beforetime"; both retained.
Text uses various forms of "villan" and "villain"; all retained.
Text mostly uses various forms of "Vikingr", rather than "Viking".
Text uses both "Scearston" and "Scearstan"; both retained.
Text uses both "witenagemot" and "witena-gemot"; both retained.
Text uses both "William of Malmsbury" and "William of Malmesbury"; both retained.
Text mostly uses "Shakspere", so two occurrences of "Shakspeare" were changed by Transcriber for consistency.
