Transcriber's Note
This text contains a large amount of archaic and variable spelling
(including British and American variations), and inconsistent
hyphenation. This has been made consistent within individual articles,
but is otherwise left as printed to reflect the diversity of sources.
However, typographic errors, such as omitted or reversed characters,
have been repaired, as have instances of omitted or erroneous
punctuation. Archaic grammar--for example, the use of 'eat' rather
than 'ate'--has also been preserved as printed.
Spelling of proper names has been made consistent within articles;
uncommon spellings have been retained--for example, Pellow instead of
Pellew, Abercrombe for Abercrombie, and Abuthnot for Arbuthnot.
Page 182 of the original book was damaged, so that the penultimate
word of "The Mutineers" had to be inferred from the remaining letters
and available space. The most likely reconstruction--indevotion--has
been included in the main text.
