Transcribers’ Notes:
Punctuation, hyphenation, 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.
Subscripts in chemical formulas are represented here as simple numbers,
such as H2O and NH3.
Illustrations were printed mid-paragraph but have been moved between
paragraphs, usually near to text that references them.
Footnotes have been collected and repositioned just before the Index.
Some in-line paragraph headings are in boldface and some are in
italics; this emphasis has been retained.
Index not checked for proper alphabetization or correct page references,
but a reference to page 274 was a typographical error and has been
changed to 174.
Page 155: Text refers to _c c′_ in Figs. 38-39, but neither figure
appears to contain a _c′_ label.
