TRANSCRIBER'S NOTES:
Every effort has been made to faithfully reproduce the original book
in this etext. The inconsistent, alternate and archaic spelling and
usage that one would expect in a collection of poets and authors from
1915 and earlier have been preserved. Errors in the Index, obvious
and simple enough to be assumed typesetter's errors, have been
corrected. Other problems and corrections are listed below.
