The Standards Of Printing At The Time Were Also Somewhat Low, And Combine All This With Those Instances Where Indian Names And Words Are Given, And Some Of The Material Is Doubtless Inaccurate - Though Lawson's Comments On Zoology Should Make That Quite Clear.

Nonetheless, this account remains one of our best sources for information on the Indians of North Carolina in and about the year 1700.

Sidenotes, throughout, are presented in squiggly brackets. {As here.} Where the sidenote precedes a paragraph, it is given on a separate line.

Corrections:

(p. 11) [ and become Cripples all ther Life-time; ] changed to: [ and become Cripples all their Life-time; ]

(p. 13) [ to satisfy the Apppetite of the Rich alone. ] changed to: [ to satisfy the Appetite of the Rich alone. ]

(p. 14) [ so we got that Night to Mons. Gallian's the elder, ] changed to: [ so we got that Night to Mons. Galliar's the elder, ] As the difference between "n" and "r" is significant, other evidence (William Dobein James) suggests the real name was Gaillard, and "Mons. Galliar's, jun'," is mentioned on the next page.

(In giving the background of Marion, in his "Life of Gen. Francis Marion", Judge William Dobein James quotes from "A New Voyage to Carolina", and in his footnotes gives some additional commentary on the area in relation to Lawson's description. This text is online.)

(p. 19) [ which was s Parrade of all Nations, ] changed to: [ which was a Parrade of all Nations, ] and: [ most Natious of the known World.
