Transcriber's Notes:
Obvious punctuation errors repaired.
Repeated chapter titles were deleted. The stacking of page numbers in the margin is due to these deleted headers, blank pages and moving illustrations out of the middle of paragraphs so as to not interrupt the flow of text.
The remaining corrections made are listed below and also indicated by dotted lines under the corrections. Scroll the mouse over the word and the original text will appear.
