Transcriber's Notes:

Some minor obvious typographical errors have been corrected silently.
For the sake of consistency and clarity, fractions appearing hyphenated throughout the book have been changed from e.g. 1-4 to 1/4. Fractions were also changed from e.g. 1 1-2 to 1-1/2.
Missing page numbers are attributed to blank pages in the original text.
