Chapter IX

. The chapter begins on p. 93 and the Table was amended.

President Fillmore’s name was spelled with a single ‘l’ in nearly all appearances.

On p. 298, the author provides a list of Secretaries of the Treasury which mis-names Walter Forward (as Howard) and George Bibb (as Beble). The mistakes are retained but noted. The name of the last Postmaster-General appointed by Washington was also corrupted being Joseph Habersham, rather than Haloshan (p. 395).

Some compound words are hyphenated inconsistently. When the hyphenation occurs on a line break, the hyphen is removed unless there is clear evidence that it should be retained.

Other errors deemed most likely to be the printer’s have been corrected, and are noted here. The references are to the page and line in the original.
