A Table of Contents has been added by the transcriber for the
convenience of the reader.
Variations in spelling are preserved as printed, e.g. unforseen,
traveler, traveller, enmass, canon.
Hyphenation has been made consistent.
Minor punctuation errors have been repaired.
The following amendments have been made:
Page 50--sushine amended to sunshine--... having taken "the
winds and sunshine into our veins," ...
Page 73 included the phrase 'Of whether our higgest
jubilation.' This is likely a printer error for either
biggest or highest. On the assumption that a b/h typesetting
error would be more likely, higgest has been amended to
biggest.
Illustrations have been moved where necessary so that they are not in
the middle of a paragraph.
