The following changes were made to the original text:
Prelude: =meadow land= standardized to =meadow-land= (lads
had crossed the sunny =meadow-land= of childhood and stood
by the gate)
Page 7: Added quotes (="It= has been so long since I saw you
that you have almost grown out of my knowledge.... You must
be fifteen years =old."=)
Page 8: =anyone= standardized to =any one= (supposing you
try to forget that =any one= has ever told you anything
about it)
Page 9: =every thing= standardized to =everything= (We may
go even farther and say with Mr. Grant Allen that
=everything= high and ennobling in our nature springs
directly from the fact of sex.)
Page 13: =microscrope= changed to =microscope= (they are not
visible except with the aid of a =microscope=)
Page 14: Changed period to comma after =to-night= (No one
ever talked to me as you have =to-night,= and I am sure it
makes me want to be better.)
Page 20: Changed single quote to double (that will bring a
blush to the cheeks of either, now, or in the years to
=come."=)
Page 20: Changed ending single quote to double (the doctor
handed him, and then with another "Good =night,"= he walked
away in the darkness.)
Page 24: =plesaantness= changed to =pleasantness= ("all her
ways are =pleasantness=, and all her paths are peace.")
Page 26: Added comma after =mouth= (Your eyes, hair,
=mouth,= chin, your stature, figure, complexion, your
talents, capabilities)
Page 27: =prehaps= changed to =perhaps= (You have observed
them in yourself, though you =perhaps= have not understood
them.)
Page 31: =tobacco using= standardized to =tobacco-using=
(proofs are accumulating of the evil results to the children
of =tobacco-using= parents)
Page 36: =transmissable= changed to =transmissible= (We also
learn that the effects of education are =transmissible=)
Advertisements: Removed extraneous quote after =youth= (I
can conscientiously recommend it to all who are interested
in the physical and moral welfare of =youth.=--_C. A.
Dorman, M. D._)
Advertisements: =M D.= changed to =M. D.= ("Most charmingly
written."--_Alice B. Stockham, =M. D.=, Chicago._)
