Transcriber's Notes
With the exception of the correction detailed below, the text is a transcription of the original printed book. Several minor corrections were made where punctuation was missing (comma or period) or formatting differed from that used for similar sections elsewhere. Several forms of the verb travel appear with an alternative spelling than is common in the present era. For example, travelled and travelling are used. The book's images were moved so that they are between the descriptive passages rather than interrupt the "flow" of the text by just moving them between paragraphs as is typically done.
