General notes. edit
The OCR was not aware of the Long s (sierra) character, "ſ" (larger ſ {{Ls}}), which is very frequently used in the book – the letter is almost invariably read as "f" (foxtrot). This is a nuisance, though an amusing nuisance when Catton writes of animals "sucking" something. The OCR text was manually checked and the long s characters were changed to "{{ls}}" and never to "s". The distinction shows in page space but wikisource displays these as an ordinary "s" in main space. Thincat (talk) 10:30, 22 March 2017 (UTC)
