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.

This book does not have page numbers.

Transcriber added sequence numbers to the entries in the Table of Contents.

When illustrations did not have captions, Transcriber added them by using part of the corresponding entry in the Table of Contents, or text within the illustrations themselves.

Transcriber added words and phrases that were within some of the illustrations to their captions, and enclosed them in parentheses to indicate they were not parts of the original captions.
