Transcriber’s Notes:
This text follows the text of the orignal work as much as possible.
Inconsistencies in grammar, punctuation, capitalisation, hyphenation,
etc. have been retained, except as mentioned below. Where the author
consistently or regularly uses unusual spelling of words, this has been
retained. Examples are it’s for its, wave for waive, guage for gauge,
scapement for escapement, enterprize, rince for rinse, boar for bore, a
mean for a means, absciss for abscissa, keer for keir or kier, mattrass
for mattress, oxigen, vaneer, etc.
The author uses both comma and period as decimal point and thousand
separator. Despite the confusion this might cause, this has not been
changed.
