Original spelling and grammar have generally been retained, with some
exceptions noted below. Original printed page numbers are shown like
this: {52}.

The transcriber produced the cover image by editing

Illustrations are the main subject of this book. Many of the
illustrations were printed full page, and fell on numbered pages,
inside paragraphs of text, frequently breaking sentences. The List of
Illustrations and many of the cross-references point to page numbers.
Therefore, the illustrations have been left where they originally
lay—i.e. many of them inside paragraphs and sentences. This is
unconventional, relative to normal Distributed Proofreaders
practices.
Unlike a printed book, the last line in a broken paragraph above
the break will not be justified, except by chance.

The name “Loewe-Marchand” was changed, in the list of
illustrations and in the index, to “Lœwe-Marchand” to agree with the
text in other places.

Errata. These errata have been applied to the text in the
ebook editions. Also, there was an error in the errata: ‘Page 182, line
3 of legend: for “U. E. I.” read U. H. I.”’ has been changed to ‘Page
183, line 3 of legend: for “U. E. I.” read “U. H. I.”’. Furthermore,
the erratum ‘for “Reeves” read “Rivers.”’ had already been applied in
the printed edition which is the basis of this transcription.
