Transcriber’s Notes

Punctuation, hyphenation, and spelling inconsistencies were not changed.

Simple typographical errors were corrected; unbalanced quotation marks were remedied when the change was obvious, and otherwise left unbalanced.

This book does not have a Table of Contents or a List of Illustrations.

The original book used leaf-like symbols as separators or decorations. This eBook uses ❦ for all of them, and Transcriber added a few more at the bottoms of what were pages in the original book.

[Page 43]: “Wierd” was printed that way.
