                          Transcriber's Note
                          ##################

This e-text is based on a reproduction of the original 1897 edition.
All modern material has been removed.

Italic text in the original version has been placed between underscores
(_text_); passages in small caps have been symbolised by forward
slashes (/small caps/). [oe] symbolises the corresponding ligature.
Subscript numerals have been placed between curly braces ({2}).

Inconsistencies in hyphenation and spelling (to-morrow/tomorrow;
aerial/aerial, etc.), as well as incorrectly used phrases in Van
Helsing's speech have been retained. A number of obvious errors in
punctuation and inconsistencies in single/double quotation have been
tacitly removed.

The following typographical errors, have been corrected:

    # p. vi/vii: header word "Page" has been moved from page vii to
                 page vi.
    # p. vii: "Chapter VXVII" --> "Chapter XVIII"; "Chapter XXI" -->
              "Chapter XXVII"; "320" --> "324"
    # p. 16: "a long" --> "along"
    # p. 30: "W[oe]" --> "Woe"
    # p. 44: "wondow" --> "window"
    # p. 43: "that" --> "than"
    # p. 58: "number One" --> "number one"
    # p. 63: "Hopwood" --> "Holmwood"
    # p. 82: "role of paper"
