Transcriber’s Note
Obvious typos and missing punctuation corrected.
Antiquated use of ‘V’ for ‘U’, older spellings (e.g. opake), inconsistent spellings (e.g. artist names and work titles), and some inconsistencies in formatting of text have been retained.
Work titles “Tiger Hunt” and “Tiger taking the Water” have been added to the captions of Plates XXXVI and XXXVII respectively.
Images of Plates may be clicked on to bring up a larger version of the image if the device used allows.
The cover has been created by the transcriber using part of the Frontispiece and is placed in the public domain.
