Chapter VI. LEGENDS, part 8 · page 21 2 3101Hyphenation has been made consistent throughout, without note.102The author uses some alternative spellings--for example, "arn't" rather than "aren't", "dulness" rather than "dullness", both "shan't" and "sha'n't"--which have been left unchanged.103There are also some unusual grammatical structures in places, which probably result from the author's intention to render the translations as literally as possible.104These have also been left unchanged.105The remaining amendments are listed below.106All were checked against a later edition of the book that had been retypeset, and references to other works were additionally checked against online library catalogues.107In the case of proper names, the amendments were based on other available occurrences of the name in the text.108Page 9--Khudyayof amended to Khudyakof--"KHUDYAKOF (I.A.). ..."109Page 9, footnote [7]--1 amended to i--"...110Afanasief," i.
