Punctuation, hyphenation, and spelling were made consistent when a
predominant preference was found in the original book; otherwise they
were not changed.
Simple typographical errors were corrected; unbalanced quotation
marks were remedied when the change was obvious, and otherwise left
unbalanced.
Illustrations in this eBook are shown as close as possible to their
original positions in the printed book, so several of them actually are
mid-paragraph. This was done because some of them are referenced only
by their content, not by their names.
This book does not have a Table of Contents.
The index was not in good alphabetical order; Transcriber re-sorted it.
It was not checked for correct page references.
