Transcriber’s Note
Where there are variant spellings, the text has been corrected to match
the preponderant versions, and are noted. Some compound words are found
both with and without hyphens. Where the hyphen occurs on a line break,
the hyphen is removed, or not, in accordance with the most common
version.
The entry for Oct. 11, regarding the appointment of Matthew Smith to the
Vice Presidency of the Pennsylvania Supreme Executive Council is not
referred to in the Contents. An entry, enclosed in [ ], is added under
his name there.
The Index entries for ’Nord, Edward’ and ’Nitschmann, Martin’ lacked a
page number. The correct pages (p. 619 and 825, respectively) are added
here, enclosed in [ ].
The Index entry for ’Ringgold, Arthur’ most likely should read ’Ringgold
Artillery’. The founder of the unit was Maj. Sanuel Ringgold. There is
no ’Arthur Ringgold’ mentioned in the text.
On p. 518, the antifederalist newspaper founded by Hugh Henry
Brackenridge in 1799 was actually called the “Tree of Liberty”, not the
“Tree of Life” as it appears here and in the Index. There seems to be
some confusion of “Lawyer Brackenridge” in Pittsburgh, and a later
American painter, Hugh Henry Breckenridge, who worked in Philadelphia
and Massachusetts, and one of whose better known paintings was called
“The Tree of Life”, though the latter is judged to have been created ca.
1929, four years later than the publication date of 1924.
On p. 918, there is a passage that opens a quotation, (“it was the
intention...) but has no closure. By context, the quotation would end
with that sentence (...carried that plan into operation.”) It is
possible that the opening mark is spurious, since there’s no apparent
source for the passage.
On occasion, apparent errors appear in quoted text, in which case they
stand uncorrected but are noted.
Some items in the Index appear out of alphabetic order. These have been
marked with a leading ‘*’, but have not been moved.
The Index reference to ‘Fontainbleau’ on p. 704 is spelled
‘Fountainbleau', and has been corrected. This places the item in the
wrong place, alphabetically, and so has been marked with ‘*’.
Those errors deemed most likely to be the printer’s (and there are many)
have been corrected, and are noted below. The references are to the page
and line in the original.
