_Elliot Stock, Paternoster Row, London._
Transcriber's Notes:
Passages in italics are indicated by _underscore_.
Additional spacing after some of the quotes is intentional to indicate
both the end of a quotation and the beginning of a new paragraph as
presented in the original text.
The following misprint has been corrected:
"writting" corrected to "writing" (page 221)
Printer's inconsistencies in spelling and hyphenation usage have been
retained.
