TRANSCRIBER'S NOTES

  1. Used a comma instead of a space after every third digit from right to left in numbers of more than three digits in keeping with authors preference.
  2. Table 9 on p. [228] has an error in the math. The total of the second column is $1,259,149,434 instead of $1,259,049,434. The latter does agree with the difference arrived at in the next line.
  3. Added "Grand total—All assets" to last line in Table 10 on p. [230] as this description agrees with the actual totals provided.
  4. Silently corrected simple spelling, grammar, and typographical errors.
  5. Retained anachronistic and non-standard spellings as printed.
