Transcriber’s Notes:
Reading edition
Punctuation, spelling and grammar were changed only where the error appears to be a printing error. The punctuation changes are too numerous to list; the others are as follows:
“Libera” changed to “Liberia” on page 223. (expeditions to Liberia)
“obligatians” changed to “obligations” on page 231. (under great obligations)
“Talladaga” changed to “Talladega” on page 251. (Unionville. Cong. Ch., for Talladega)
Extra “(” removed from E.D. Bassford’s ad on page 256. (COOPER INSTITUTE, NEW YORK CITY)
