TRANSCRIBER'S NOTE
Reading edition
Throughout the text, paragraph spacing varied, with some paragraphs having more whitespace above them. I have retained this paragraph spacing. In cases in which a paragraph started at the top of the page and was surrounded by other "spaced" paragraphs, I added space above it if the top-of-the-page paragraph did not relate closely to the paragraph before it.
Long blank space within paragraph text has been maintained on:
Page 50
Page 59
In the Index at the end of the book, there are references to three items that do not exist in the text. Consequently, I have been unable to link these items:
William Overton on Page 182
John Stewart on Page 185
Edward Parker on Page 185
