Errata of the five volume set
"The Complete Aubrey/Maturin Novels"
by Patrick O'brian
This is a project that I'm starting because I'm very frustrated with the editing of the five volume set. I'm sure that I'm not the only one.
If anyone wants help out I would welcome any inputs, use the discussion tab.
Try to stay away from from text that may just be characterizations, or archaic usages, blatant editorial errors first.
Book 1 - Master and Commander
Page 40, last line "pallas" should be capitalized.
Pg 57, Line 19 "Vertuesuse" should be italicized.
Pg 349, Line 17 "Amelia" would be italicized.
Pg 685, Line 9 "lid" should be "fid"
Pg 738, Line 32 "lat" should be "that"
Book 2 - Post Captain
Pg 810, Line 32 "comer" should be "corner", possibly caused by typeface.
Pg 845, Line 22, possibly style choices, maybe even puns or some other play on words. "once" should possibly be "one" and "mortality" could be "morality".
Pg 858, Line 1 "lively" should be capitalized and italicized.
Book 3 - H.M.S. Surprise
Pg 888, Line 26 "Goldsmids" could be "Goldsmiths"
Pg 896, Line 21 "Blain" should have an e added to it.
Pg 921, Line 29 "cutlash" could be "cutlass", though it could also be Killick's way of speaking. Perhaps he's drunk.
Pg 1106, Line 4 "lively" should be capitalized and italicized.
Pg 1118, Line 36 "her" could be "here".
Pg 1164 , Line 21 "gajined" should be "gained"
Book 4 - The Mauritius Command
Pg 1353, Line 12 "though" should be "thought"
Pg 1447, Line 21 "carryon" should be two words "carry on"
Pg 1473, Line 5 "Ceylon" should be italicized.
Pg 1476, Line 26 "Bel/one" should be "Bellone", and italicized.
Pg 1479, Line 29 "arid" should be "and"
Pg 1486, Line 1 "carne" should be "came", mistake is repeated in line 5

Pg 1518, Line 17 "seamart's" should be "seaman's"
Volume 2
Book 5 - Desolation Island
Pg 1669, Line 9 "Iamb" should be "lamb", L instead of i
