These stories do appear to be censored for modern day sensibilities. You might want to mention that at the top of stories where words were truncated or removed, like in:

(Gutenberg provides this H.G. Wells story verbatim: https://gutenberg.org/cache/epub/11870/pg11870-images.html#l... )

My advice: content warnings should suffice. Let readers experience these stories as they were written, and limit any modern commentary to annotations. We must not erase history, only provide guidance.
