Transcriber’s Notes

Punctuation, hyphenation, and spelling were made consistent within each article when a predominant preference was found in that article; otherwise, they were not changed.

Simple typographical errors were corrected; unbalanced quotation marks were remedied when the change was obvious, and otherwise left unbalanced.

Duplicate hemi-titles were removed.

Table of Contents: replaced ditto marks with the actual words above them.

The index was not systematically checked for proper alphabetization or correct page references.

Page 352: “singled out” was printed as “signalled out”; changed here.

Page 388: “full-fledged” was printed as “full-edged”; changed here.

Page 573: “New York _Herald_” was misprinted as “New York _World_”; changed here.

Page 576: “mediocity” was printed that way; may be a misprint for either “mediocrity” “meritocracy.”

Page 576, under “State, business and”: “corporations” was misprinted as “co-operations”; changed here.
