Transcriber's Note
Minor typographical errors (omitted punctuation, omitted or transposed letters, etc.) have been amended without note. Inconsistent hyphenation and accent use has been made consistent within the main text, again without note. Any inconsistencies between quotations and the main text remain as printed.
There is a lot of archaic language in this text, which remains as printed. The author also used alternative spelling in places (e.g. Epimethus rather than the more usual Epimetheus); this remains as printed. There is a reference to Michael Angelo on page 203 and in the Index, by which the author presumably meant Michelangelo; this has also been left as printed.
The following amendments have been made:
Page 268—were amended to was—"... with Saragossa still unconquered was too much to hope for."
Page 304—Kemoc amended to Larguen—"Then Larguen, in furious anger, ..."
Illustrations have been moved so that they are not in mid-paragraph. The frontispiece illustration has been moved to follow the title page. Larger versions are available; click on the image to see them.
Index entries have been made consistent with the main text, as follows:
Page 334—Aristaeus amended to Aristæus; Athene, Pallas amended to Athené, Pallas.
Page 335—page reference 230 amended to 300 in Carricknarone entry; page reference 313 added to Deirdrê entry.
Page 336—page reference 344 amended to 244 in England entry; Eridamus amended to Eridanus.
Page 337—page reference 86 added to Idmon entry; Inis Rea amended to Iniskea.
Page 338—Naïdes amended to Naiades; page references 319 and 325 added to Naoise entry; Oeneus amended to Œneus; entry for Olivier originally had page references duplicating the entry for Oliver, these have been amended to the actual references in the text; page reference 119 added to Perseus entry.
Page 339—page reference 19 added to Phaeton entry; Pirithons amended to Pirithous; Rachael amended to Rachel; Roncevalles amended to Roncesvalles; Shee Finaha amended to Shee Finnaha; Sisyplus amended to Sisyphus; Taillekin amended to Tailleken.
Page 340—Tiberias amended to Tiberius; Uffizzi Palace amended to Uffizi Palace; Uluadh amended to Uladh.
Alphabetic links have been added to the Index for ease of navigation.
