Transcriber’s Note
Punctuation, hyphenation, and spelling were made consistent when a predominant preference was found in the original book; otherwise they were not changed.
Simple typographical errors were corrected; unpaired quotation marks were remedied when the change was obvious, and otherwise left unpaired.
Footnotes, originally at the bottoms of pages, have been collected and moved to precede the Index.
The index was not checked for proper alphabetization or correct page references.
