Transcriber’s Notes
Punctuation, hyphenation, and spelling were made consistent within
each article when a predominant preference was found in that article;
otherwise, they were not changed.
Simple typographical errors were corrected; unbalanced quotation
marks were remedied when the change was obvious, and otherwise left
unbalanced.
Duplicate hemi-titles were removed.
Table of Contents: replaced ditto marks with the actual words above
them.
The index was not systematically checked for proper alphabetization or
correct page references.
Page 352: “singled out” was printed as “signalled out”; changed here.
Page 388: “full-fledged” was printed as “full-edged”; changed here.
Page 573: “New York _Herald_” was misprinted as “New York _World_”;
changed here.
Page 576: “mediocity” was printed that way; may be a misprint for
either “mediocrity” “meritocracy.”
Page 576, under “State, business and”: “corporations” was misprinted as
“co-operations”; changed here.
