Transcriber’s Notes
Punctuation, hyphenation, and spelling inconsistencies have not been
changed in this eBook, as many of them likely were intentional parts of
the codes being used, and different people wrote the various letters.
Illustrations in this eBook have been positioned between paragraphs
and outside quotations.
A decorative headpiece on the first page of every chapter appears in
the HTML version, but is not indicated in the Plain Text version.
Available electronic copies of the original book did not include images
of the jacket as referenced in the List of Illustrations.
The index was not checked for proper alphabetization or correct page
references.
The original book contains Footnotes at the bottoms of pages, and
Endnotes in the “Notes and Amplification” chapter. In this ebook, the
Footnotes have been assigned an ascending numeric sequence of 1-72 in
the order in which they appear, and the Endnotes have been assigned an
ascending numeric sequence of 101-142. The Footnote numbers and their
references are shown in [square brackets]; the Endnotes and their
references are shown in (parentheses), as they were in the original
book. Then, the Footnotes have been collected and placed at the ends of
the chapters that reference them. In the HTML version of this eBook,
links to the Footnotes and Endnotes lead to the appropriate ones.
Footnote 62, originally on page 216, was not referenced in the text.
Transcriber added the missing reference by examining the citation.
Page 193: Two pairs of empty parentheses were printed that way in the
original book.
