The following misprints have been corrected: "exquisitensess" corrected to "exquisiteness" (page 25) "charcter" corrected to "character" (page 47) "47" corrected to "27" (page 50) "Secretivness" corrected to "Secretiveness" (page 53) "two" corrected to "too" (page 55) "faculties: etc.," corrected to "faculties, etc.,:" (page 56) "Destructivness" corrected to "Destructiveness" (page 56) "the the" corrected to "the" (page 78) missing "on" added (page 114) "respcet" corrected to "respect" (page 125) "the the" corrected to "the" (page 133) Other than the corrections listed above, printer's inconsistencies in spelling and hyphenation usage have been retained. The scans of the original text were difficult to read in several places. Thus, the following points are noted: The date on the title page reverse is illegible and has been noted as "18__." On page 34, in the phrase "are all on fire, ready to ignite," "on" is a best guess as the intended wording. Based on the original scans, "on" might also be interpreted as "of." On page 40, in the image caption "JACO THE ORANG-OUTANG," "Jaco" is a best guess as the intentional wording. Based on the original scans, "Jaco" might also be interpreted as "Jaso."
