Errors and Inconsistencies:

_All corrections were checked against other versions of the text._ If an
apparent error is the same in all available versions, or if the correct
form was not deducible from the 1851 text alone, it was left unchanged.

Non-Errors

Many spellings were carried over unchanged from the 1804 original, even
if they were archaic by 1851, such as "doat", "choak", "staid" (for
"stayed") and others.

"gale": in pre-Beaufort usage, a synonym for "breeze"
"ensign": starting rank in the British infantry until 1870
"prim hedge": probably the same as privet hedge, _Ligustrum vulgare_
"Dr. Franklin": Benjamin Franklin received an honorary doctorate from
Oxford in 1762
