Transcriber's Notes
Original inconsistencies in chapter titles between the Table of Contents and the first pages of each chapter have been retained. Likewise, the titles on the List of Illustrations and the illustrations themselves appear here just as they did in the original text, including [Plate 44]'s labeling of "Gas Oven" in the LOI and as "Electric Oven" in its caption.
Minor punctuation errors fixed on pages [45] and [162]. Punctuation on Plates [4], [5], [6], [16], [20], [22], [34], [39], [40], [41], [42], [42a], [44] was made consistent with the other Plates.

The following changes were made for consistency or due to typographical error:
