Transcriber's Notes

In the original text, Scottish names, such as M'Clelland or M'Kail,sometimes use a regular apostrophe and sometimes a reversed apostrophe.In this transcription, the ASCII apostrophe character (') has been usedthroughout.

Missing quotation marks and other minor punctuation errors andinconsistencies such as differing hyphenations of words have beensilently corrected.

Missing or poorly printed letters in words have been silently supplied.

Illegible text that could not be supplied from other sources is marked{illegible}.

There is an error in page numbering: the page following 336 is numbered347.

Where a word differs from modern spelling, but is consistent within thetext, e.g. atchievement, the original spelling is retained. Othertypographical errors have been corrected, particularly where there isinconsistency within the text. A detailed list of these changes (includingthose described in the Errata) can be found at theend of the text.
