Transcriber’s Notes
The language used in the source document, including unusual, archaic,
inconsistent and erroneous spelling, hyphenation and capitalisation,
has been retained, except as mentioned below. The same applies to
grammatical errors, missing words and punctuation, confusing or
contradictory texts, the inappropriate use of units, etc.
Neither spacing inconsistencies (for example between numbers and their
units) nor textual inconsistencies (for example in prices or in the
use of principal vs. principle) have been standardised.
Page xxii, ... safe and sure insect ostracizer: the caption under the
illustration is ... safe and sane insect ostracizer.
Page 6, cost calculation: as printed in the source document, despite
obvious errors and inconsistencies. Paragraph starting “It is
necessary when ordering a range ...: the closing quote mark is
lacking.
Pages 100 and 104, see Plan 1: this was not present in the source
document.
Page 131, ... mixture of 21 parts nitrogen, 79 parts of oxygen ...:
the proportions should be reversed, and should be read as parts per
100 for nitrogen and oxygen, not per 10,000.
Page 221, flavoring cream with or without condensed milk.: there may
be a comma missing between flavoring and cream.
Page 221, ... (granites frozen by oscillation and frappés ...: the
closing bracket is lacking from the source document.
Page 262, paragraph starting You are particularly interested ...: one
or more words may be missing.
Changes made:
Illustrations have been moved out of text paragraphs.
The (single) footnote has been moved to directly underneath the
paragraph to which it refers.
Some obvious minor typographical and punctuation errors have been
corrected silently.
Several tables have been split or re-arranged slightly for better
readability; in some tables ditto marks have been replaced with the
dittoed text.
