Obvious errors in spelling and punctuation have been corrected without comment. One example of an obvious error is on page 126 where the word "perservation" was changed to "preservation" in the phrase: "... preservation of all perishable food...." With the exception of obvious errors, inconsistencies in the author's spelling and use of punctuation and hyphenation are left unchanged, as in the original text. One error which has been retained in this version is on Page 415, where the attribution line for the poem reads "Walter Savage Landor" while the correct author of the poem is Alfred Lord Tennyson. Illustrations have been moved to the nearest, most appropriate paragraph break.
