There are spaces where there shouldn't be, e.g., "that 's all" and spaces before ? and other punctuation.
In the original book the contents page has a comma following each chapter name, this is then followed by a number of periods leading to the page number. I have redacted the page numbers as being pointless in an e-book but an occasional period has been missed.

The "mis-spelling" of chapter 1's title reflects the original where on the contents page it uses the word THE but the actual chapter uses TH' which is what is reflected in the navigable TOC. The OCR is riddled with unnecessary spaces every opening speech mark acquired a following space which needed removing. I have no doubt there will be wierdo's in the sections of dialect. I wasn't aiming at absolute perfection, just making a book I was happy to read.

I thought I had cleared up all the spaces before punctuation, but it looks like I missed the ones before the ?

Thanks for the observations though.
