FootnotesTranscriber's Notes:
- Every effort has been made to replicate this text as faithfully
as possible, including obsolete and variant spellings.
- Obvious misspellings, minor punctuation and printer errors and inconsistencies repaired.
- Some fractions were formatted in the original text with hyphens (for example, 9-16 for 9/16). These are left as printed, with hyphen instead of slash.
- Entries in index that were not in alphabetical order in the original were reordered alphabetically.
- On page 118: The text appears to be using “knots” to mean “nautical miles”. Left as printed.
