Transcriber’s Note:
Footnotes have been collected at the end of each chapter, and are linked for ease of reference. Most illustrations are full-page photographs. These were described by a simple caption as well as a brief paragraph. They have been moved slightly to avoid falling on a paragraph break. These pages, and their blank reverse, were not counted in the pagination of the book.
Minor errors, attributable to the printer, have been corrected. Please see the transcriber’s [note] at the end of this text for details regarding the handling of any textual issues encountered during its preparation.
Any corrections are indicated using an underline highlight. Placing the cursor over the correction will produce the original text in a small popup.
Any corrections are indicated as hyperlinks, which will navigate the reader to the corresponding entry in the corrections table in the note at the end of the text.
