I've found a few transcription errors in the Standard Ebooks edition
of Bleak House. Of the two sources mentioned in the colophon, these
errors are also present in the Project Gutenberg text (to whom I am
sending a separate report), but my suggested corrections match the
Internet Archive scan.

and hear their testimony to his greatness ==> and bear their testimony
to his greatness

getting myself up for almac’s ==> getting myself up for Almack’s

Hope this is useful.

Thanks for the report, I’ve pushed fixes for these and the book should regenerate shortly.
