It also updates mistakes made in the original translation such as incorrect Scripture citations and reformats the book into sections which the original Spanish version had (which the 19th century versions do not have). The editor also gives some general instructions on how to use the book in the preface, and helpfully inserts the "Points for personal prayer" from the Spiritual Masters as 'prelectionaries' before a section of the exercises to which they correspond.
