In addition to obvious errors the following changes have been made:

1. Page 376: The phrase "as early in 1773" was changed to "as early as 1773".

2. Page 119: "cocoa" was changed to "coca" in the phrase, "... opium, betel, hasheesh, and coca...."

3. Page 209: "Aureditated" was changed to "Accredited" to reflect the correct title of Jarvis' book: "Accredited Ghost Stories".

4. Page 211: "Aured." was changed to "Accred." in the phrase, "Accred. Ghost Stories".

5. Page 234: "aids" was changed to "aides" in the phrase, "General d'Espagne roused his aides...."
