Transcriber's Note

Corrections have been made where it is obvious a printer's error. For instance, on p. 3, the reference to the execution of "Charles II" in 1649 is an error (it was Charles I), but it is not at all clearly a printer's fault, and is merely noted here.

The following issues and their resolutions are noted here:

p. 3 Charles II _sic._ Charles I.

p. 34 D[ai/ia]ry Transposed.

p. 58 (especially chap. ) _sic._ Missing.

p. 231 have all [be enhoused/been housed] Corrected.

p. 233 "The Music Grinders,["] "The Comet," Added.

p. 264 philos[o]phical Added.

p. 296 Heart[s]ease and Rue Added.

p. 308 Calv[a/i]nism Corrected.

p. 331 often ["/']Destiny,["/'] Corrected.

p. 439 Augustus Thomas (1859- [)] Added.

p. 453 personal a[c]quaintance Added.

p. 460 to any woman in [in] any of Moody's poems Removed.

p. 472 U[n]usually Added.

p. 492 the organ of 'japonicadom,["/'] Corrected.
