Errors and Inconsistencies Noted by Transcriber

Unchanged Text

Many compound words occur in up to three forms: with hyphen; as two separate words; and as a single unhyphenated word. Hyphens at line break were retained unless the word was consistently hyphenless elsewhere. Missing spaces between words were supplied when unambiguous.

Recurring Usages and Variant Spellings

Both "boil'd" and "boiled" are used in the body text.] lay a lay of ... [The word "layer" also occurs, but "lay" is more common.] Olive, Oline [The word "Olive"--the meat preparation, not the fruit--was written "Oline" everywhere in the Index, and occasionally in the body text. The unrelated "Olines" are birds.] Rabit [Note that the word is consistently spelled with one "b" _except_ in the Index.] Snite [Probably a variant of "Snipe", but in some books it is understood as a different bird.] roast, toast [Both words can be applied to meats.] give it a walm [The word "walm" is always used in this construction.

Catchwords

In several places, text at the beginning of a page was corrected from the catchword on the previous page:
