Transcriber's Note: The Table of Contents lists several sub-topics for each chapter. In the original edition, these appeared as headers on odd-numbered pages. In the HTML version of this electronic edition, these have been placed as sidenotes adjacent to the relevant passages.
The following typographical errors present in the original edition have been corrected.
In the Table of Contents, "Tragedy appreciated" was changed to "Tragedy Appreciated", and a missing period was added after "XXVI".
In Chapter II, a period was changed to a comma after "from the mouths of the Sulina, I gazed".
