Transcriber's Notes:
The original text had page v before pages iii and iv. This was rearranged in this edition. The List of Illustrations now follows the Table of Contents.
The text uses both "vail" and "veil," "depot" and "depôt."
Obvious punctuation errors were corrected.
The remaining corrections made are indicated by dotted lines under the corrections. Scroll the mouse over the word and the original text will appear.
