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.
Hyphenation in some quoted passages was done differently than in the
rest of the book.
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. Irregular punctuation in page lists was remedied and
the spelling of some names was changed to match the spelling on the
referenced pages.
Text uses both “jr.” and “Jr.”
Page 45: “preéminent” was printed with the acute accent. As it was in a
quotation, it has not been changed here.
In the caption of the illustration facing page 570, the names
originally were more-or-less below the individuals. In this eBook, the
names are grouped by row (Back, Middle, Front; left-to-right), and
those row identifiers were added by the Transcriber.
