Transcriber's Notes
In the List of Illustrations I restored a missing single quote after Lenore! as shown below:
"'Wretch,' I cried, 'thy God hath lent thee—by these angels he hath sent thee
Respite—respite and nepenthe from thy memories of Lenore!'"
The List of Illustrations uses 'visitor' where the poem and the actual illustration use 'visiter'.
