A. & C. BLACK, SOHO SQUARE, LONDON, W. TRANSCRIBER’S NOTE Original spelling and grammar have been generally retained, with some exceptions noted below. Original printed page numbers are shown like this: {52}. Original small caps are now uppercase, except that on page 223 the small caps phrase is rendered thus: “hos heros MonaChos apprenDe bata Ve rebeLLes”, in the simple text edition. Italics look _like this_. Footnotes have been relabeled 1–46, and moved from within paragraphs to nearby locations between paragraphs. The transcriber produced the cover image and hereby assigns it to the public domain. Original page images are available from archive.org—search for “suppressedplates00laya”. The List of Illustrations contains two divisions, those that were printed upon numbered pages, and those that were printed on unnumbered pages. Most illustrations originally printed inside paragraphs of text have been moved to nearby locations between paragraphs, and the corresponding page numbers have been removed as necessary to maintain proper order of the remaining page numbers. Captions of Illustrations were sometimes altered to conform more closely—in substance or in typography—to the titles in the List of Illustrations (LOI). In such cases, the original captions (if any) are nevertheless retained as part of the image. On page 172, a caption was inserted where none had been printed, to match the LOI. Page 10. “protoype” to “prototype”. Page 212. “fireband” to “firebrand”. Page 254. “Whistler, James M‘N” to “Whistler, James M’N”.
