Transcriber's Note
An entry was added to the index for the illustration on page 35 which was apparently missed during original production.
A number of illustrations have been shifted from the middle of paragraphs to convenient nearby spaces and the page numbers in the index have been altered accordingly. The FACING PAGE heading in the index has been changed to PAGE.
Some punctuation errors have been corrected.
The following suspected printer's errors have been addressed.
Page 122, going changed to getting. (before getting the address)
Page 147, perparatory changed to preparatory. (preparatory to a last sitting)
