TRANSCRIBER’S NOTE
On browsers and most handheld devices the first letter of a chapter is shown as a decorative image (a drop-cap), with the rest of the first word next to it.
For example Chapter I has “{drop-cap T} HE Thirty Eighth ...” On some handheld devices the first letter is not suppressed and this example will display as “{drop-cap T} THE Thirty Eighth ...”
Some minor changes to the text are noted at the [end of the book.] These are indicated in the text by a dashed blue underline.
