+In his book, James Barnwell Heyward takes some liberties with his transcriptions. He introduces punctuation that doesn't exist, corrects misspellings, and removes capitalization based on more modern syntax rules. Therefore, there are some discrepancies between the text in the images below and the transcription on this page. Heyward's book, published in 1905 as cited below, is now public domain.
