Transcriber's notes:
Page numbers in this book are indicated by numbers enclosed in
curly braces, e.g. {99}. They have been located where page
breaks occurred in the original book. For its Index, a page
number has been placed only at the start of that section.
The page numbers in the List of Illustrations are those in the
original book. However, in this e-book, to avoid the splitting
of paragraphs, the illustrations may have been moved one (or
more) pages preceding or following.
In the original book, each illustration was on its own
leaf, prefaced by a separate onion-skin leaf containing the
description of that illustration. In the text version of this
e-book, each pair of illustrations and descriptions is set off
from the text with a separator line of asterisks.
The original book did not have a Table of Contents. One has
been added for convenience.
