Transcriber’s Notes
Italicized text is surrounded by underscores: _italics_.
Bold text is surrounded by asterisks: *bold*.
Small capitals are changed to all capitals.
Illustrations have been moved so they do not break up the paragraphs.
Obvious typographical errors and punctuation errors have been corrected after careful comparison with other occurrences within the text and consultation of external sources. Punctuation and capitalisation for figures and glossary has been made consistent silently. Otherwise, except for those changes noted below, all misspellings in the text, and inconsistent or archaic usage, have been retained.
The following corrections have been applied to the text (before/after):
