Transcriber's Notes
Bracketed words, such as [the?], were present in the original text. They were not added by the transcriber.
Obvious printing errors were repaired and noted by the use of a dashed underline in the text. Scrolling the mouse over such text will display the change that was made. In ambiguous cases, the text has been left as it appears in the original book. In particular, many mismatched quotation marks have not been changed.
