Transcriber’s Note

Errors in the text have been corrected where they can be reasonably attributed to the printer or editor, or where the same word appears as expected elsewhere. Inconsistencies in punctuation, particularly in the Index, have been resolved.

In the very long table of cash contributions in Appendix VII, the ‘Carried Forward’ subtotals at the foot and head of each page have been removed.

In Appendices II and X, wide tables have been divided into rearranged in order to be more readily viewable in this media.

The book was printed with a short errata slip inserted prior to p. 1, which has been moved to the end of the text, prior to the Index. The changes have not been made, but are presented here using a mouse-over insert as Grobelaar’s. The error noted on p. 384, line [13], for ‘E.J. Johnstone’ apparently had already been corrected, but as ‘C.H.M. Johnstone’ rather than 'Johnstone, C.H.'. The text is given as printed.
