Transcriber Note
In order to accommodate placement of illustrations and footnotes, many paragraphs were split where it seemed reasonable. Minor typos were corrected. A web search shows that the anchorless Footnote on page 139 appears to reference the quoted text on [page 140]. Therefore, the Footnote was placed after the quoted text.
On [page 174], [Footnote 36] referred twice to Figure 8 and to a "Microscopic slice" as Figure 61 which does not exist. It is assumed the intent was to refer to Figures 7, 7a, 8 and 59 and has been altered to point to those figures. The caption for [Fig. 7] also refers to "Fig. 61, p. 310" and has been updated to "Fig. 59, p. 237".
