Spelling varies and is, generally, retained. However, there were a
number of errors which involved transposition of characters, as well as
missing or redundant characters which were most likely made by the
printer. These have been checked against a contemporary edition, and
corrected where necessary. The phrase 'to bed' is frequently, though
not always, hyphenated as 'to-bed'.
Proper names are frequently elided with a dash, of varying lengths. All
have been rendered as '----' (e.g. V----'s).
