Transcriber’s Note

Errors in the text have been corrected where they can be reasonably attributed to the printer or editor, or where the same word appears as expected elsewhere. Inconsistencies in punctuation or the spacing of characters have been resolved with no further notice.

The word ‘CHAPTER’ at the beginning of Chapter XXXIX was omitted in printing, and is here restored.

Corrections made to the text appear here as underlined words of phrases. The original text can be seen by hovering one’s mouse at that location, such as corrected text.
