Errors

The following is a list of errors found in the published books:

  • In Volume 1, on page 38-39, the branches leading from couplets 22 and 23 should read W12, not W14

Famous quotes containing the word errors:

    “Let us pardon him his hope of a vain apocalypse, and of a second coming in great triumph upon the clouds of heaven. Perhaps these were the errors of others rather than his own; and if it be true that he himself shared the general illusion, what matters it, since his dream rendered him strong against death, and sustained him in a struggle to which he might otherwise have been unequal?”
    —Ernest Renan (1823–1892)

    “The errors of the observer come from the qualities of the human mind.”
    —Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)

    “Of all the errors which can possibly be committed to the education of youth, that of sending them to Europe is the most fatal. I see [clearly] that no American should come to Europe under 30 years of age.”
    —Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
