Transcriber's Notes.
Obvious typesetting errors have been corrected. Questionable or vintage spelling has been left as printed in the original publication. Inconsistencies in spelling have been normalized.
Punctuation (commas, periods and colons) has been supplied for consistency in the formatting of the List of Books following the main text.
Page 203: Supplied a comma, presumably missed in typesetting (evidenced by a blank space in original publication). Shown in brackets in the following: "... unequal to the subject—too low[,] pedestrian, and creeping...."
Page 229: Transcribed "this" as "his". As originially printed: "Unto this last."
Page 17 (List of Books): Transcribed "Armoy" as "Armory". As originially printed: "By A.E. Sweet and J. Armoy Knox".
