Transcriber Notes:

The illustrations have been moved so that they do not break up paragraphs and so that they are next to the text they illustrate.
Errors in punctuations and inconsistent hyphenation were not corrected unless otherwise noted.
On page 14, the open single quotation mark was replaced with a double quotation mark.
On page 18, the open single quotation mark was replaced with a double quotation mark.
