The illustrations have been moved so that they do not break up paragraphs and so that they are next to the text they illustrate. Thus the page number of the illustration might not match the page number in the List of Illustrations, and the order of illustrations may not be the same in the List of Illustrations and in the book.
Errors in punctuations and inconsistent hyphenation were not corrected unless otherwise noted.
On page 130, "cooperative" was replaced with "coöperative".
On page 276, "showshoes" was replaced with "snowshoes".
On page 384, a quotation mark was added after "European and Japanese Gardens".
On page 389, a comma was added after "Indians".
On page 391, a period was removed after "Meiji Tenno, 24, 39, 82, 234, 240".
On page 394, a semicolon was added after "Shimonoseki, treaty of, 13".
