Transcriber’s Note

At the foot of p. 173, an unreferenced footnote appears, referring the reader to “Appendix A.” for the text of Rev. Beecher’s inaugural sermon. (The Appendix has no “A”, per se.) A reference to the footnote has been added.

On pp. 265, 276, 351, 362, 382 an asterisk appears right-justified at the end of a quoted passage. As explained on p. 366, this was used by Beecher as a signature. These are retained here, though merely with an extended space between the text and his ‘signature’.

The index entry for Beecher's remarks about the proposed compromise of 1864, refers to p. 445, should have been p. 446, Likewise, references to music and hymns on p. 367 should have been 368. Both were likely caused by the interpolation of a numbered full page illustration, and have both been corrected.

The format of the two-column index has been changed to single column, and the punctuation regularized.

Hyphenation of compound words is retained as printed. Where the hyphen appears on a line or page break, it is retained or removed depending on the preponderance of usage elsewhere.

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. The following issues should be noted, along with the resolutions.
