Transcriber's note:

      Due to an accusation of libel, some pages had to be rewritten
      and reprinted before the book was bound. Pages 1-24 were not
      printed and are missing from the original. See the
      Preface for more information.

      Text in italics in the original is surrounded by underscores
      (_italics_).

      Text in a Gothic font in the original are surrounded by equal
      signs (=Gothic=).

      Characters superscripted in the original are surrounded by
      curly braces (example: SAM{L}).

      A row of asterisks represents a thought break or an ellipsis
      in a poetry quotation. Other asterisks indicate censored names.

      The original uses two kinds of blockquotes--one type has words
      in a smaller font, and the other uses extra white space before
      and after the quotation. The transcriber has used wider margins
      to represent the smaller font and two blank lines before and
      after to represent extra white space.

      Variations in spelling and hyphenation have been left as in the
      original. A few typographical errors have been corrected. A
      complete list follows the text.
