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.
This book contains archaic spellings of many words.
Pages containing only chapter titles were deleted, as the same
information appeared at the top of the next page.
