PRINTERS

Transcriber’s Note

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. A three number reference refers to the line within a note on that page, or, if the page is prefixed with ‘i’, refers to the column and line in the index pages.

The translator employed accented vowels on Russian words and names to assist with pronunciation, but occasionally omitted them. They have been made consistent here, erring on the side of including them, to aid in searches.

Where names as given in the Index disagree with those in the text itself, the text is assumed to be correct. The use of a grave accent, to indicate emphasis, is imperfectly followed. The name ‘Kravtchinsky’ appears on pp. 263-264, as well as in the Index. But ‘Kravtchìnsky’ appears elsewhere and is assumed to be intended by the translator.

Minor punctuation lapses in the Index, especially, have been corrected with no further notice.
