Opening of the book
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.
