Transcriber’s Notes:

A table of contents was created to enable eBook navigation.

Obvious punctuation omissions and instances of extraneous punctuation have been repaired. Inconsistent hyphenation was retained as printed. Period and common alternate spellings were also retained, but the following apparent printing errors were corrected:

On page 4, changed “enomiums” to “encomiums” ([winning for herself encomiums from both surgeons and physicians]).

On page 20, changed “smal” to “small” ([She had a small annuity]).

On page 20, changed “founteen” to “fourteen” ([fourteen years of age]).

On page 22, changed “b” to “be” ([to be a noble, whole-hearted, high-principled fellow]).

On page 25, changed “everythink” to “everything” ([at whose touch everything seemed to turn into gold]).
