This book contains archaic spelling, e.g. meed meaning reward, targe
meaning shield. There are also some variations in spelling, e.g. Allah
akbar and Allah achbar both appear. Further, both American and British
spelling is used, including appearances of shriveled and shrivelled,
revelers and revellers, and marvelous and marvellous. In all cases,
these are preserved as printed.
Minor punctuation errors have been repaired. Hyphenation has been made
