The Red Cross in Peace and War
Autograph letters and similar documents which were presented only as images in the original have been transcribed here, and can be found at the end of the text. The captions of those images will serve as links to their transcriptions.
The lists of Illustrations and Contents have several anomalous, though accurate, entries. For example, the section on the re-incorporation of the Red Cross, beginning on page 94, appears in the Contents between sections on p. 184 and p. 197, for no apparent reason. The reference has been placed in its proper position in the Contents. Also, please note that the entries in the Contents do not always refer to formal sections of the text. They sometimes direct one to a change of topic otherwise unmarked in the text itself.
Several of the photographs associated with the Spanish American War, which were included at the end of the volume on pp. 675 and 676, are listed in the Illustrations where their subjects would appear.
Illustrations have been moved to avoid breaking paragraphs. On occasion, they may appear out of the normal page order.
The opening of the section on General History is labeled “Chapter I”, the only use of that designation in the volume.
Footnotes have been consolidated at the end of the volume, and linked for convenient reference.
