Obvious typographical errors and punctuation errors have been
silently corrected after careful comparison with other occurrences
within the text and consultation of external sources. Some hyphens
in words have been silently removed and some silently added when
a predominant preference was found in the original book. Except
for those changes noted below, all misspellings in the text and
inconsistent or archaic usage have been retained.
Page 51: “Hullo, 69 Ng” replaced by “Hallo, 69 Ng”.
Page 52: “banian tree” replaced by “banyan tree”.
Italicized text is surrounded by underscores: _italics_. Bold text is
surrounded by equal signs: =bold=.
