Many chapters included a copyright statement at the bottom of the first
page. These have been relocated to directly follow the title.
The name ‘Yardley-Orde’ (pp. 169 & 175) appears twice as ‘Yardely-Orde’
(pp. 180 & 182). References to the character in Kipling critical texts
use the former, and the variant is corrected here.
Errors deemed most likely to be the printer’s have been corrected, and
are noted here. The references are to the page and line in the original.
