Simple typographical errors were corrected; unbalanced quotation marks were remedied when the change was obvious, and otherwise left unbalanced. Illustrations in this eBook have been positioned between paragraphs and outside quotations. The original book uses bottom-of-page footnotes and end-of-volume endnotes. In this ebook, the footnotes have been moved directly below the paragraphs that reference them, and their symbols have been replaced by letters, so as to be unique within the eBook, while retaining the original physical sequence. The endnotes remain in their original positions, and their numbers have been modified to be unique within the eBook. The modifications are intended to allow successful hyper-linking in HTML and ereaders that support such links. The modified footnote numbering uses chapter numbers and sequences within those chapters. The bottom-of-page sequences are alphabetic, while the endnote sequences retain their original numeric values. In the original book, several footnotes were referenced multiple times. In this eBook, those footnotes have been duplicated and assigned new, unique letters, so that the references lead to separate footnotes. This is intended to facilitate back-linking from the footnotes to their references. The index was not checked for proper alphabetization or correct page references.
