35: added 's' to 'landing' (...steamers make their various landings.) Page 43: removed extraneous closing quote. Page 46: added comma after 'erection' (..., now in process of erection, ...) Page 55: added 's' to 'make' (forgetting even, as Bryant did, that a vertical line from the top of the cliff on account of the crumbling debris of ages make(s) it impossible for even the strongest arm to hurl a stone from the summit to the margin of the river). Page 59: missing closing quote, and possibly also missing text in paragraph? (one narrator says: "remarkable disappearances ...) Page 76: changed 'materal' to 'material'. Page 80: changed 'Revoluton'to 'Revolution'. Page 94: added missing comma after 'library': "The Library, founded in 1812, has about 50,000 volumes." Page 95: changed 'Seige' to 'Siege'"... Siege Battery on the slope...." Page 96: changed 'pictureque' to 'picturesque'. Page 107: changed (Major Tench) 'Tighlman' to 'Tilghman'. Page 107: added opening quote ..."the proclamation of Congress and the farewell orders of Washington were read, and the last word of command given." Page 108/9: changed 'proclams' to 'proclaims'. Page 110: changed: 'The Marquis De Chastelleaux' to 'The Marquis De Chastellux' (ref.: google) Page 113: changed: 'The Marquis De Chastelleux' to 'The Marquis De Chastellux' Page 125: added 's' to 'thousand' (thousands of young men) Page 129: (While sunset gilds) 'theee', to 'thee', Page 139: changed 'openng' to 'opening'. Page 145: changed 'Sofly' to 'Softly'. Page 153: changed 'communicaton' to 'communication'. Page 153: added closing quote (in about 32 hours.") Page 155: changed 'wth' to 'with' Page 173: changed 'thousand' to 'thousands' (...thousands of laboring men... ) Page 205: added 's' to 'brick' (thousands of bricks) Page 212: added " to para beginning ("Viewed from the railroad ...) Page 212: added 's' to 'thousand' (Thousands of travellers ...) Also added: Periods and commas, various (in the poetry footnotes). The text appears worn; there is space for a period (and a couple of letters are missing), so I am assuming that the missing punctuation may have been rubbed off the page. I have also encountered a number of instances throughout the book where the author quoted from an external source and omitted either the opening or closing
