Transcriber’s Notes

The (many) inconsistencies and oddities in the printed source text have been retained, including those in the spelling of proper names, the use of periods after (shortened or diminutive) names, other punctuation, etc., as well as in the use of section headings. Pejorative and offensive language has not been adjusted.

Depending on the hard- and software used to read this text and on their settings, not all elements may display as intended. Where relevant, some elements have been included as facsimile illustrations as well.
