I agree, with you there. Originally, I had though the Gutenberg punctuation was just OCR error, but after having read what HarryT wrote (that each edition could have its own punctuation, there is not authoritative source, and it is not necessarily the author's style but is instead the editor's), I decided it didn't really matter and stayed with the Gutenberg punctuation.

I agree here too and in my version I've found a few more instances that I've italicized. I've also added a bunch of french accents to words that were missing them, and corrected several that were wrong.
I've also made a bunch more changes included straight quote --> curly quotes, smallcaps formatting in TOC and where names appear signing letters, centering blocks of verse, but within the block, the verses are left aligned (as in the 1880 edition), floating chapter header images where the first letter is part of the image so that it aligns with the text.
I'm also looking at re-sampling the images and reducing colour-depth so that they are both sharper and smaller file size.

If you have more I'd be interested in looking at it, thanks!
This has turned out to be a much larger project that I thought - quite a challenging book, but when its ready I think it will be worth it.
