TRANSCRIBER’S NOTES.
I’ve included all the interior images despite the poor quality of the source material. If you can provide better copies please contact Project Gutenberg Support.
Minor spelling inconsistencies (e.g. dumbfoundered/dumfoundered, frock-coat/frock coat, moneylender/money-lender, etc.) have been preserved.
Alterations to the text:
Add illustrator’s name to title page.
Silently correct a few punctuation errors (quotation mark pairings, missing periods, etc.)
Images were moved to be nearer the scene they depict.
