Transcriber’s Note:
Words may have multiple spelling variations or inconsistent hyphenation in the text. These were left unchanged. Obsolete and alternative spellings were retained. Misspelled words were corrected. Obvious printing errors, such as backwards, upside down, or partially printed letters and punctuation, were corrected. Final stops missing at the end of sentences and abbreviations were added. Duplicate words at line endings or page breaks were removed. The only footnote was moved to the end of the chapter.
The following items were changed:
- added “of” to ... on both sides [of] the river ...
- added “neither” to ... But [neither] these manifest dangers ...
- changed “haridness” to ... the [hardness] of his temper.
