TRANSCRIBER’S NOTES
The titles of the chapters in the Contents are not necessarily consistent with titles of the chapters in the text, although their order in the text is correct.
An image of the back cover is at the end of this text.
This text has been preserved as in the original, including archaic and inconsistent spelling, punctuation and grammar, except as noted below.
Obvious printer’s errors have been silently corrected.
Footnotes have been renumbered and then moved to the end of the chapter to which they belong.
Page 2: “Ngashiy” and “Ngishiy” each appear once and they were retained as printed.
Page 17: There was one character not printed at “country to [a] river” and is shown here within the bracket.
Page 52: “Uzibebu” was changed to “Usibebu” to correspond to multiple use in the footnote on the same page.
