Transcriber’s Notes Punctuation and spelling were made consistent when a predominant preference was found in this book; otherwise they were not changed. Due to the large number of transliterated/accented words, no attempt was made to check spelling in this eBook. Simple typographical errors were corrected; occasional unbalanced quotation marks retained. Ambiguous hyphens at the ends of lines were retained; occurrences of inconsistent hyphenation have not been changed. Italic text is enclosed in _underscores_, boldface in =equals signs=.
