Hello,

I have just read Standard Ebook's version of <a href="https://standardebooks.org/ebooks/jonathan-swift/gullivers-travels">standardebooks.org/ebooks/jonathan-swift/gullivers-travels</a> and have found the following discrepancies between the text and the scans at Internet Archive.

Part II Chapter III: 'The dwarf was soundly whipt, and as a farther punishment,' should be 'The dwarf was soundly whipped, and, as a farther punishment,'.

Part II Chapter VI: 'the historical account gave him' should be 'the historical account I gave him'.

Part III Chapter II: 'a piece of beef into a rhomboides,' should be 'a piece of beef into a rhomboid,'.

Part III Chapter IV: 'neither did observe any expectation' should be 'neither did I observe any expectation'.

Part III Chapter VII: 'dressed after a very antic manner,' should be 'dressed after a very antique manner,'.

Part III Chapter IX: 'those, who receive an audience to spit' should be 'those, who receive an audience, to spit'.

Part III Chapter X: 'that from what I had hear and seen,' should be 'that from what I had heard and seen,'.

I have confirmed this with the scans at archive.org.

Thank you,
Ray Collins.
