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.
