Printer errors (omitted punctuation, omitted or transposed letters, etc.) have been corrected without note.
Hyphenation has been made consistent without note; it has been left unchanged where there is variation in quotations.
Page 128 had an obscured section of text, which reads "... then the children must [blank] back after school hours." In the context, and with the space and few visible marks, the missing text would seem to be "be rowed" so those words have been used.
Page 258 contains a quotation which includes the term "scrape-goat" which would appear to be a deliberate spelling on the part of the writer rather than a printing error. It has therefore been retained.
