Typo corrected in final paragraph of Complete Prose Works

 Archive user Ira Chernus alerted us to a typo in the final paragraph of Complete Prose Works (1892), in which we had "show many topics" for "how many topics." This has been corrected.

Wording about Lincoln assassination revised in chronology

 Archive user Adam Harding pointed out that because Abraham Lincoln was shot on 14 April 1865 but died on the 15th the chronology entry "14 April Lincoln assassinated" was perhaps misleading. I have adjusted the wording to be more specific.

Corrected encoding in deathbed edition of Leaves of Grass

 Ashlyn Stewart discovered that there was an XML validation error in the TEI file for the deathbed edition of Leaves of Grass (ppp.00707). With the assistance of Brett and Ashlyn, Kevin corrected the problem (resolving a nesting issue with <text> and <group> tags) and the file now validates.
