Page and line numbers in these notes refer to the original printed text.
Obvious punctuation corrections have been applied silently where
applicable.
As much as possible, the original spelling in the book has been
preserved. The authors commonly use different hyphenation for several
words throughout (for example, "note-book" on page 283, line 9, as
opposed to "notebook" on page 285, line 16). There are mixes of English,
American, and French spelling. The spelling of some names that appear
only once or twice is ambiguous (for example, "Cheikh" on page 55, line
27, and "Cheik" on page 143, line 5). In cases like these, the text has
been left as in the printed version.
