Obvious printer’s errors were silently corrected.
Errors in the names were corrected for consistency and changed to either
the first or the most occurring one:
- Stephen Davenant was called Stephen Newcombe on page 26
- Mrs. Davenant's maid Jane was called Janet on page 134
- Mrs. Cantrip on page 146 was called Cantup on page 169
- Walmington Square was called Washington Square on page 221.
Otherwise the author's writing style has been preserved, including:
- archaic and inconsistent spelling
- inconsistent hyphenation
- French words written without accents.
