Transcriber’s Note:
This book was written in a period when many words had not become standardized in their spelling. Words may have multiple spelling variations or inconsistent hyphenation in the text. These have been left unchanged unless indicated below.
Footnotes were renumbered sequentially and were moved to the end of the chapter. Obvious printing errors, such as backwards, upside down, missing, or partially printed letters and punctuatios, were corrected. Final stops missing at the end of sentences and abbreviations were added. Obsolete and alternative spellings were left unchanged. Misspelled words were not corrected.
In the List of Illustrations, Dinka Village shown as facing page 159, instead is displayed as the frontispiece.
Link to the audio file was added for music. The music file is the music transcriber's interpretation of the printed notation and is placed in the public domain. At the time of this writing, music file links will not work in mobile e-book formats like epub or Kindle/mobi. Users who are reading the e-book in one of these formats can listen to the music or download music files in the HTML version.
