Transcriber’s Note:
There are two footnotes, which have been moved to directly follow the paragraphs in which they are referenced.
The full page drawings are also moved to avoid falling in mid-paragaph. The pages given in the list of illustrations refer to their original page numbers, but here serve as hyperlinks directly to the images. Their page numbers are skipped in the text itself.
Minor errors, attributable to the printer, have been corrected. Please see the transcriber’s [note] at the end of this text for details regarding the handling of any textual issues encountered during its preparation.
Corrected text will appear in the text with a gray underline. Placing the cursor over the text will display the original version. A brief explanation can be found by consulting the endnotes for the relevant page.
Corrected text will appear in the text as a link to the corresponding explanatory entry in the endnotes.
