Missing punctuation in the Index has been corrected without note.

Inconsistent use of :-- ,-- and -- at the start of quotations has been retained.

Oe ligatures have been replaced by Latin-1 letters 'oe'.

Variant spellings: sanatorium, sanatarium, sanitorium, sanitarium, appear once each in the text and have been retained.

Hypenation of some words is inconsistent and has been retained: life-boat, key-note, good-will, re-formed (in both cases used of parades that broke up and formed again) and under-graduate all appear with and without hyphens. Other words that were originally hyphenated at line ends have been made consistent with the rest of the text.
