Transcriber’s Notes

Punctuation, hyphenation, and spelling were made consistent when a predominant preference was found in the original book; otherwise they were not changed.

Simple typographical errors were corrected; unbalanced quotation marks were remedied when the change was obvious, and otherwise left unbalanced.

The index was not checked for proper alphabetization or correct page references.

Page 75: “de Sevignê” currently is spelled “de Sévigné”.

Page 392: The two sentences beginning with “How if the mutineers” were printed that way.
