TRANSCRIBER'S NOTE
1. Numerous missing periods have been inserted, and a few obvious printer's errors corrected. Inconsistent hyphenation has not been corrected.
2. At bottom of page 27, a confused series of five double quotes have been corrected to two double quotes and two pairs of (internal) single quotes.
3. The spelling "vailed" has been retained as acceptable in 19th Century writing.
4. Headers in Gothic script, even when printed in title case, have been rendered in all caps.
