Transcriber's Notes

Printer errors have been corrected.

Full-page illustrations have been moved so as not to interrupt the flow of the text; some page numbers are skipped as a result.

Midi files have been provided for all music illustrations except autographs and the handwritten manuscript score of [Salammbô]. Click on the [Listen] link to hear the music. Lyrics within the music illustrations have been transcribed and placed below the notation image.
