TRANSCRIBER'S NOTES

Images have been moved from the middle of a paragraph to the closest paragraph break.

The following misprints have been corrected:
"Peninusla" corrected to "Peninsula" (page 33)
"wofully" corrected to "woefully" (page 91)
"ocuntries" corrected to "countries" (page 129)
"ittle" corrected to "little" (page 146)
"ather" corrected to "rather" (page 164)
"tast" corrected to "last" (page 211)

Other than the corrections listed above, printer's inconsistencies in spelling, hyphenation, and ligature usage have been retained.
