The House We Live In; or, The Making of the Body
Obvious typographical errors have been silently corrected. Variations in hyphenation and spelling and punctuation remain unchanged.
Original picture captions are shown in sentence case italics, as in the original. Captions that are not in italics were added by the transcriber, generally to deal with text within the picture.
The chapters all start with illustrated capitals. Where the capital is Incorporated into the illustrated chapter heading it has been extracted by the transcriber.
Many chapter heading illustrations extend substantially down the side of the page. Most of these extensions have been curtailed or removed since consistent replication amongst various e-reader types has proved impossible.
