Transcriber's note:
Passages in italics are indicated by _underscore_.
Images have been moved from the middle of a paragraph to the closest
paragraph break or to the end of a long quote.
The following misprints have been corrected:
"Dyson-Perrin" corrected to "Dyson-Perrins" (page v)
"Frederic" corrected to "Frederick" (page 25 and index)
Missing word added on page 101 (assumed "the").
Additional spacing after some of the quotes is intentional to indicate
both the end of a quotation and the beginning of a new paragraph as
presented in the original text.
The original text includes Greek characters. For this text version
these letters have been replaced with transliterations.
Public-domain text, read in full here on John Shaqi.
