Transcriber’s Notes
Punctuation, hyphenation, and spelling were made consistent when a predominant preference was found in the original book; otherwise they were not changed.
Simple typographical errors were corrected; unbalanced quotation marks were remedied when the change was obvious, and otherwise left unbalanced.
The larger illustrations have been positioned at the tops of the pages on which they originally appeared, even when that placed them in the middle of sentences or paragraphs. This was done to simulate the appearance of the original book: every page contained at least one illustration at the top or bottom, while many paragraphs and some sentences were more than one page in length.
The black-and-white illustrations were printed with thick, coarse lines and irregular borders. That appearance has been retained in this eBook.
