Minor typographic errors have been corrected without note.
Unusual spelling and hyphenation in the dialect is retained as printed.
The forward material has been moved to follow the title page. Illustrations have been moved slightly where necessary to prevent them falling mid-paragraph. As a result there are gaps in the page numbering; these missing pairs of numbers refer to the illustration page and the blank verso.
The following are the text versions of the handwriting images:
