Transcriber’s Note
- Obvious typos and missing punctuation corrected.
- Antiquated use of ‘V’ for ‘U’, older spellings (e.g. opake), inconsistent spellings (e.g. artist names and work titles), and some inconsistencies in formatting of text have been retained.
- Work titles “Tiger Hunt” and “Tiger taking the Water” have been added to the captions of Plates XXXVI and XXXVII respectively.
- Images of Plates may be clicked on to bring up a larger version of the image if the device used allows.
- The cover has been created by the transcriber using part of the Frontispiece and is placed in the public domain.
