Transcriber’s Note

The first item in the Table of Contents mentions a map of the districts affected, but there is no map in edition used to prepare this book. The TOC entry is retained, nonetheless. An editor’s note also mentions a map (the same map?) to accompany the Index of Place Names at the end of the volume. In any case, there is no such map in this edition.

Some compound words appear both with and without hyphens. Where the word breaks on a newline, the hyphen is retained if it appears elsewhere.

Errors deemed most likely to be the printer’s have been corrected, and are noted here. The references are to the page and line in the original.
