Errata of the five volume set

"The Complete Aubrey/Maturin Novels"

by Patrick O'brian

ISBN 0-393-06011-X

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".

Book 4 - The Mauritius Command

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 1488, Line 20 "Iphigenia" should be italicized. Mistake repeated in line 22, on the next page, line 27, and again on Pg 1492, line 16

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

Pg 1718, Line 28 "loth"? This is an alternate spelling of "loath", but that doesn't make sense contextually.
