Minor typographical errors have been corrected without note.
Punctuation and spelling were made consistent
when a predominant preference was found in this book; otherwise they were not changed.
Ambiguous hyphens at the ends of lines were retained.
Mid-paragraph illustrations have been moved between
paragraphs and some illustrations have been moved closer to the text that
references them. The Index to Engravings paginations were not corrected.
The links for some incorrect index entries have been remedied,
but others may remain, as the index was not checked for accuracy.
