Transcriber’s Notes
Variant spelling and hyphenation have been preserved as printed; simple typographical errors have been corrected.
In the Table of Contents, the printed page numbers were all off by 10: page 7 should read page 17, page 21 should read page 31, and so on. The page numbers have been updated for the plain text version of this book. (The HTML and e-reader versions do not use page references in the ToC.)
The following changes were also made:
- [Page 86]:
dead and dry, however, never fresh ones. [added period] - [Page 183, illustration]:

All changes are also noted in the source code: search <!--TN:
