I'm preparing Harriet Martineau's Autobiography for the MR library, and checking against a pdf version of the 1877 Smith, Elder and Co. edition.

That edition consistently has Charlotte Brontë as Charlotte Bronti (i with the umlaut). I've not been able to find any other source using Bronti as the surname. Should I change the spelling to Brontë?
