Simple typographical errors were corrected.
Punctuation and spelling variations within quotations likely are due to having been written by different people, in some cases for literary effect, and have not been changed. Such variations within the author's own text have been regularized when a predominant preference was found, and otherwise have not been changed.
Preface, last line "State College, Pennsylvania,": this edition omitted the date that appears on the next line in another edition: "July 31, 1915."
Page 30: Transcriber added a closing quotation mark after the end of the last line of poetry on the page.
Page 42: "wanted local color." probably was meant to end with a comma, not with a full stop.
Page 89: "Sketch Book, "Castilian Days" refers to John Hay's "Castilian Days," which has been likened to a sketch book in other books.
Page 165: footnote anchor following "globe affords." has no matching reference in the source. Based on content of nearby pages, it has been matched to the same reference as the first footnote anchor on the same page and appears here as [86].
Chapter XV contains two Section "V"'s, and the following sections are identified in the sequence beginning "VI".
Page 441: Index entry referring to "H. C. Clark" should be "Clark, C. H." Some other index references do not exactly match their targets. Index entries and references have not been verified.
