Transcriber’s Notes

Punctuation, hyphenation, and spelling were made consistent when a predominant preference was found in this book; otherwise they were not changed.

Simple typographical errors were corrected; occasional unbalanced quotation marks retained.

Ambiguous hyphens at the ends of lines were retained.

Page [37]: Paragraph beginning “In spite, however, of all positive evidence to the contrary” contains an unbalanced quotation mark.

Page [56]: Removed an unmatched single quotation mark just before “the” in “Imagine Juliet as the party, loved”.
