[Transcriber's note:]
A Table of Contents has been added to this ebook for the reader's convenience.
In general every effort has been made to replicate the original text as faithfully as possible, including some instances of no longer standard spelling and punctuation. In particular there was a tendency for characters to ask semi-rhetorical questions punctuated with a period instead of a question mark; this has not been changed since it may be a stylistic choice, not a printer's error. However, punctuation errors that appear to be of typographical nature have been repaired (for example, many missing opening or closing quotation marks have been added). Hyphenation and accent marks have been standardized.
The following changes were made to repair apparent typographical errors:
