Transcriber’s Notes Punctuation, hyphenation, and spelling were made consistent when a predominant preference was found in the original book; otherwise they were not changed. Simple typographical errors were corrected; unbalanced quotation marks were remedied when the change was obvious, and otherwise left unbalanced. Footnotes, originally at the bottoms of pages, have been sequentially renumberd and placed at the ends of the chapters in which they appear. Illustrations in this eBook have been positioned between paragraphs and outside quotations. The index was not checked for proper alphabetization or correct page references.
