Transcriber's Notes
Introduction:
The Chronicles of America Series has two similar editions of each volume in the series. One version is the Abraham Lincoln edition of the series, a premium version which includes full-page pictures. A textbook edition was also produced, which does not contain the pictures and captions associated with the pictures, but is otherwise the same book. This book was produced to match the textbook edition of the book.
We have retained the original punctuation and spelling in the book, but there are a few exceptions. Obvious errors were corrected--and all of these changes can be found in the Detailed Notes Section of these notes. The Detailed Notes Section also includes issues that have come up during transcription. One common issue is that words are sometimes split into two lines for spacing purposes in the original text. These words are hyphenated in the physical book, but there is a question sometimes as to whether the hyphen should be retained in transcription. The reasons behind some of these decisions are itemized.
Detailed Notes Section:
Chapter II
• Page 33:
Death-bed is hyphenated and split between two lines for spacing. A few lines
above the word, deathbed appears in the middle of a sentence without the
hyphen, thus answering how to transcribe the word.
• Page 36:
Non-resistance is hyphenated and split between two lines for spacing. The
word was also hyphenated and split between two lines in its only other usage,
in the index of page 245. We retained the hyphen in both instances.
• Page 38:
Strong-holds is hyphenated and split between two lines for spacing. Six other
occurrences of the word in the book are not hyphened, so this word was also
transcribed without the hyphen.
Chapter III
• Page 53:
Land-locked is hyphenated and split between two lines for spacing. There is
no other use of the word in the document. We transcribed the word without
the hyphen: landlocked.
• Page 55:
Half-starved is hyphenated and split between two lines for spacing. There is
no other use of the word in the document. Half-past was used three times
with a hyphen. We transcribed the word with the hyphen: half-starved.
• Page 59:
Flag-ship is hyphenated and split between two lines for spacing. On page 61,
the word is spelled flag-ship, so we transcribed the word on page 59 with the
hyphen: flag-ship.
Chapter IV
• Page 89-Page 90:
Sea-shore is hyphenated and split between two lines for spacing. On pages
120 and 153, seashore is spelled in the middle of the line without the
hyphen, so we transcribed the word without the hyphen.
Chapter V
• Page 140:
In the clause "The chief said it was far away," it is difficult to tell that
there is a space between far and away. There are no other occurrences of
faraway in the book, but three other occurrences of far away--on page 15,
page 51, and page 161. Therefore, the phrase was transcribed as two words.
Chapter VIII
• Page 178:
In the sentence "The soldiers of France were preparing to fight on many
battle-fields," battlefields is hyphenated and split between two lines.
On page 221, the text uses battlefields, without the hyphen. Therefore,
we transcribed the word on page 178 sans hyphen.
Chapter IX
• Page 206-Page 207:
In Chapter 9, the word encyclopædia was spelled with the a-e lig,
but in two other references (Page 178 and Page 240), the o-e lig was used.
We retained the convention used by the book: Diderot's
Encyclopœdia and The Encyclopœdia Britannica for
the title of the work, but encyclopædia for the generic term.
Chapter X
• Page 214:
On page 214, war-ships is hyphenated and split between two lines for spacing
in the clause "There were forty-nine warships, carrying ..." On Page 13
and Page 213, warships occurs in the middle of a line without the hyphen.
On Page 61 and Page 218, war-ships occurs in the middle of the line with a
hyphen. We flipped a coin and transcribed the word without the hyphen.
Index
• Page 244:
Changed spelling of "Nepigon" in Index to Nipigon, to match the text.
Moved entry to page 245 so that the index entries are in alphabetical
order.
