Transcriber’s Notes
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; unbalanced quotation marks were remedied when the change was obvious, and otherwise left unbalanced.
Footnotes, originally at the bottoms of pages, have been collected, renumbered into one sequence, and placed at the end of the book, just before the advertisements.
[Page 130]: “made the sounds” was printed that way; may be a misprint for “rounds.”
