Corrected a typo based on the note in the companion volume: ‘(N.B. “stagy-entrances” is a misprint for “stage-entrances”)’.
Silently corrected a few other palpable typos; left non-standard spellings and dialect unchanged.
Moved the frontispiece illustration to the corresponding place in the text.
Collated the table of illustrations from the companion volume (correcting a few page number), and added its captions to the illustrations.
Only in the text versions, delimited italicized text (or non-italicized text within poetry) in _underscores_ (the HTML version reproduces the font form of the printed book.)
