Transcriber's Note

Illustrations have been moved near the relevant section of the text. Near the beginning of the book, I have inserted an index of illustrations.

Page numbers are documented in the source code.

Inconsistencies have been retained in hyphenation, punctuation, spacing between initials, spacing between alphabetic sections in lists, italicization and capitalization except where indicated in the list below. Alphabetization of list items has been left as-is as has double punctuation such as ".:". The author has stated that this book "[has many imperfections]" due to the speed in which it was prepared in order to meet the publisher's timeline. It is clear that some sections of the text were more carefully edited than others prior to publishing. Consequently, I have made (and notated) typographical corrections only for sections in which the majority of the text adheres to a general standard of hyphenation, punctuation, etc.

Here is a list of the minor typographical corrections made:
