Transcriber's Note: Dialect and archaic spellings have been retained. Minor typographical errors have been corrected without note, whilst more significant amendments have been corrected as follows:

[Portrait Caption], "Gardiner" to Gardner.

Page [102] & [160], "peculidæ" to pediculidæ, could be amended to pediculus however the former seems more in keeping with the original intent.

Spelling errors occurring solely in the Index have been corrected to match the main text.
