of perseverance to get together.”—_Morning Leader._

Transcriber’s note:
Original spelling and grammar have been generally retained, with
some exceptions noted below.
Page xi. The phrase ‹Weath of Nations› was changed to ‹Wealth of
Nations›.
Page xiii. The phrase ‹‘I am much pleased with› was changed to ‹“I am
much pleased with›.
Page xxiii. The phrase ‹int his room while› was changed to ‹into his
room while›.
Page 144. The phrases ‹Xerxes’s army› and ‹Xerxes’ army› are both
retained.
Page 157n. The phrase ‹much rom their business› was changed to ‹much
from their business›.
Pages 162–163. The phrases ‹“that in the year› (p. 162) and ‹north
exposition.”› (p. 163) contain unbalanced quotation marks in the
original. Two new double quotation marks have been inserted to balance
these, at ‹“‘Hybernum fracta› and ‹“He speaks of that river’s›.
Page 254. The phrase ‹SAMILLUS, MARCUS FURIUS› was changed to
‹CAMILLUS, MARCUS FURIUS›.
Page 258. This (originally unnumbered) page begins sixteen pages
of advertisements from The Walter Scott Publishing Co. A new
heading ‹ADVERTISEMENTS› was inserted. This new heading contains
also the footer text that was originally printed on each page of the
ads section. The ads were printed in several different styles with
considerable variation. The styling has been herein greatly simplified.
Several large curly brackets ‹}› that graphically indicate combination
of information on two or more lines of text have been eliminated, by
restructuring the text. Ditto marks ‹Do.› were also removed.
