TRANSCRIBER'S NOTE
Reading edition
Added table of contents.
Changed a few instances of Ku-Klux (excepting the title page) to Kuklux as the author clearly preferred the latter spelling.
Changed lop-eard, lopeard, and lop-eared to lopeared as that spelling was somewhat dominant.
Silently corrected simple spelling, grammar, and typographical errors.
Retained anachronistic and non-standard spellings as printed.
