Many thanks.
I found the book very readable, but the OCR errors got to me after a while, with the constant references to Cardinal Alien, Charles Pox, armies going into whiter quarters and travels to Prance tune after time...
I humbly submit an edition where these (~150) errors have been fixed

An authors epitah:
I suff'red so much from printers errors
That death for me can hold no terrors
I bet this stone has been misdated
I wish to God I'd been cremated

(Ogden Nash, probably)
