718. This was so in parts of New England, fifty years ago. I have seen the main hall or front “entry” of a farmhouse in Connecticut used as a bedroom, with a high-post state bedstead against the front door.

Minor errors or inconsistencies of punctuation or formatting have been corrected silently. There were a number of occasions where quotation marks were not balanced. Where possible the cited source has been consulted. It was not always possible to surmise the scope of quoted material, in which case it is noted below, but unchanged in the text.
In at least one case, on p. 125, the quotation from Ármin Vámbéry’s Travels in Central Asia (see note 361) was incorrectly marked. Quotation marks have been added in order to properly denote those portions which directly follow the source.
In the scriptural index, on p. 303, the entries for 1 Timothy are corrupt, with the chapter appearing at the end of the entry, rather than at the beginning:
| 1 TIMOTHY. | |
| : 14 | 854 |
| : 7 | 1146 |
These have been corrected as
| 1 TIMOTHY. | |
| 4 : 14 | 85 |
| 6 : 7 | 114 |
This table summarizes the corrections specifically to the Topical Index, which on occasion has entries which are spelled differently in the text itself, or are otherwise faulty. To facilitate searches, it is assumed that the text is correct, and the entries were changed. The sole exception is the transliteration of the Greek word προναιοι, which is given in the text on p. 154 as pronaoi, but correctly in the index as pronaioi (vestibule). In this case, the text has been corrected.
