Transcriber's note
Text in italics was surrounded with _underscores_, bold with =signs=,
and small capitals were changed to all capitals. A symbol looking like
a knotted point on the side was represented with [symbol] on page 57.
In the original Fig. 22 did not exist.
Errors in punctuation and misplaced spaces were corrected silently.
Also the following corrections were made, on page
10 "lways" changed to "always" (do not always cut out to the edges)
35 "latter" changed to "later" (sooner or later.)
42 The second "Fig. 38." changed to "Panel in Low-relief" (See list
of Plates.)
49 "boldy" changed to "boldly" (To carve boldly we must use)
75 "12" changed to "52" (or project beyond it, illustrated by Fig.
52.)
90 "Egpytian" changed to "Egyptian" (Egyptian Cutting.)
113 "Fréres" changed to "Frères" (that of Söhnee Frères)
143 "Vertemnus" changed to "Vertumnus" (Flora and Pomona and
Vertumnus in simple archaic forms).
Otherwise the original was preserved, including inconsistencies in
spelling and hyphenation.
