| facsimile version. |
| |
| In this e-book, articles have been placed starting from the top |
| left of each page and then following column order. The one |
| exception to this is the first page, where the centre article |
| has been placed first. Where other features interrupted the |
| flow of text they have been moved to the end of the article in |
| question. Links to full-page images have been provided in the |
| html edition to show the original layout. |
