Transcriber's Notes
Punctuation and spelling were made consistent when a predominant preference was found in this book.
Incorrect and missing page references in the Table of Contents have been corrected.
Unbalanced quotation marks were repaired when the intent was clear; otherwise they were unchanged.
Ambiguous hyphens at the ends of lines were retained.
Some misspelled words or typographical errors occurred only once and have been corrected to the following: consummation, admissible, phenomenal, brimming, scandalous, iniquitous, poring, chaparral.
These typographical errors were not corrected: cravans (should be cravens), reconnoissance, reconnoisance (both should be reconnaissance), vis-á-vis (should be vis-à-vis).
Text uses "assult" and "assault", "wasn't" and "was'nt"; none changed.
The inconsistent spacing and use of small-caps for "A. M." and "P. M." has not been changed.
Page 180: "Red Sea" was misprinted as "Red Rea"; correction made based on comparision with other printings of the same poem.
Page 336: "the situation was known Hood" probably should be "known to Hood".
Page 341: "worthy its great founder" probably should be "worthy of".
Page 347: "marked and scared" probably should be "scarred".
Page 400: "Villianow" and "Villainow" both appear and are unchanged here; current spelling is "Villanow".
Page 410: "Buel" was spelled with just one "l". All other occurrences are spelled "Buell" but as they may refer to different people, this was not changed.
Page 431: Text is missing after "Of course the abandonment to us by the enemy".
Page 436: "sineury" probably should be "sinewy".
Pages 440 and 441 were printed in the wrong sequence; corrected here.
