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 index was not checked for proper alphabetization or correct page
references.
Transcriber removed redundant chapter headings.
Lists of reference materials, originally printed at the bottom of the
first page of each biography, have been moved to just after the chapter
headings and labelled as “References:” by the Transcriber.
Footnotes, originally printed at the bottoms of pages, have been
renumbered, collected, moved to the ends of their chapters, and
labelled as “Footnotes:” by the Transcriber.
