Transcriber’s Notes
Punctuation and spelling were made consistent when a predominant
preference was found in this book; otherwise they were not changed.
Simple typographical errors were corrected; occasional unbalanced
quotation marks retained.
Ambiguous hyphens at the ends of lines were retained; occurrences of
inconsistent hyphenation have not been changed.
Since screen sizes vary from device to device, and we do not know the
dimensions of the pages in the original book, the “scale” sizes given
in the captions of some illustrations do not apply to the sizes shown
in an eBook. Also, to make the identifiers within some illustrations
readable, the illustrations have not been resized uniformly in this
eBook, so their sizes, relative to each other, are not always the same
as the ones in the original book.
Illustrations and Sidenotes have been positioned between paragraphs
in this eBook. Consequently, the page references in the List of
Illustrations do not always match the placement in this eBook, and some
of the Sidenotes refer to material towards the middle or end of the
paragraphs that follow them.
