Transcriber’s Note

Certain compound words appear both with and without hyphens: dogcart, hearthrug, bulldog, scatterbrained. Where the hyphen appears on a line break, it is retained or removed based on other occurences of the word.

Errors deemed most likely to be the printer’s have been corrected, and are noted here. The references are to the page and line in the original.
