The electronic edition of Horace Mann's Dedication of Antioch College, and Inaugural Address of Its President has been produced from a copy of the printed text published by A. S. Dean (Yellow Springs, OH) and Crosby and Nichols (Boston) in 1854.

      Pagination in the electronic version has been represented by placing the page number in brackets following the last complete word on the printed page. In the printed text, footnotes are indicated by printer's devices (asterisks, daggers, etc.); in the electronic text, they are treated as sequentially numbered endnotes. Inconsistencies in spelling, capitalization, punctuation, and typography have been retained; however, corrections have been offered for misspellings and other accidental corruptions. Emendations are as follows:

            Printed Text [ Electronic Text
 -----------------------------------------------------------------------
 p. 17:     inuendo [ innuendo
 p. 35:     toys of childhood [ toys of childhood.
 p. 39:     disregaded [ disregarded
 p. 93:     Where- ever [ Wherever
 

      Addenda and corrigenda are earnestly solicited.
