Simple typographical errors were corrected; occasional unbalanced quotation marks retained.
Ambiguous hyphens at the ends of lines were retained.
The illustrations on the title and dedication pages are decorative.
Illustrations originally printed mid-paragraph have been moved to nearby paragraph breaks, so the page numbers in the List of Illustrations do not always match the positions in this eBook. However, links, in versions of this eBook that support them, do lead to the matching illustrations.
Index not checked for proper alphabetization or correct page references.
