Italicized text is surrounded by underscores: _italics_.
Small capitals are changed to all capitals, except where used for
emphasis, in which case the text is surrounded by tildes: ~small capitals~.
Illustrations have been moved so they do not break up the paragraphs.
Obvious typographical errors and punctuation errors have been corrected
after careful comparison with other occurrences within the text and
consultation of external sources. Except for those changes noted below,
all misspellings in the text, and inconsistent or archaic usage, have
been retained.
The following corrections have been applied to the text (before/after):
