Transcriber’s Notes
Reading edition
Retained publication information from the printed edition: this eBook is public-domain in the country of publication.
Relocated all image captions to be immediately under the corresponding images, removing redundant references like ”preceding page”.
Inverted the Timeline to better fit a vertical flow model.
Silently corrected a few palpable typos.
In the text versions only, text in italics is delimited by _underscores_.
