- Transcriber’s Notes:
- After the chapter “THE DRILL SERGEANT,” there is a second book included in this text entitled “The HANDBOOK of SWINDLING”, which begins on page [199]. There is no explanation of this. It is formatted a bit differently from “The Essays,” with no page breaks between chapters and two chapters are numbered “I”—one on page [199] and the other on page [201].
- There is a final chapter on page [261] that does not appear in the Table of contents.
- Missing or obscured punctuation was silently corrected.
- Typographical errors were silently corrected.
- Inconsistent spelling and hyphenation were made consistent only when a predominant form was found in this book.
