VERBAL VARIATIONS OF THE STODDARD, INGRAM, AND STEDMAN-WOODBERRY EDITIONS FROM GRISWOLD.

The readings in parentheses are those of the Griswold text.

The variations in punctuation are far too numerous to catalogue.

It may be stated in general that Stoddard follows the Griswold text closely in this matter, Ingram varies chiefly through omission, and Stedman & Woodberry have made extensive revision throughout. [page 396:]

In the matter of spelling Stoddard and Ingram conform for the most part to the Griswold text, except that the latter always uses the termination our instead of or, as in endeavor, and the former always prefers ward to wards, as in backwards, upwards, etc., and further to farther.

Stedman & Woodberry have made numerous changes for the purpose of harmonizing and modernizing the spelling.
