Preface

Transcriber's Note:

Obvious typographical errors in the editor's text have been corrected. Inconsistent or incorrect accents, spelling, capitalization, and punctuation in the original documents and quotes were left as printed.

• On page 28, "aimable" should possibly be "amiable".
• On page 40, "as taken umbrage" should possibly be "has taken umbrage".
• On page 58, "Chamley, of New Castle" should possibly be "Charnley of Newcastle".
• On page 100, "Mr. A." should possibly be "Mrs. A".
• On page 233 "youself" should possibly be "yourself".
• On page 418 "pp. 197*-204*" should possibly not have asterisks.
• "£##" and "##£" are used interchangeably (with and without spacing.)
• The same is true for "$##" and "##$".
• "Major Glassel" (page 7) and "Major Classel" (page 24) appear to be the same person.

Some references in the Index are incorrect.

• No entry exists for "Coral snake".
• The entry for "Audubon parentage and early names" is missing a page reference.

This is the second volume of a two volume work. Linked cross-references to Volume I are designed to work when the book is read on line.
