Transcriber's Note

Footnotes have been moved to the end of the book. Both Footnote 30 on Page 50 and Footnote 39 on Page 65 refer to two items rather than one. I have repeated these footnotes in the Footnotes section in order to accommodate the repetition.

Inconsistencies have been retained in spelling, hyphenation, formatting, punctuation, and grammar, except where indicated in the list below:

Comma added after "wife" on Page viii

Period removed after "III" on Page ix

Comma removed after "Mrs." on Page xiv

Comma changed to a period after "Ed" in Footnote 14

Period added after "us" on Page 23

Period added after "morning" on Page 27

"pen-knive" changed to "pen-knife" on Page 117

"w th" changed to "with" on Page 134

Footnote number was missing and has been added for Footnote 77

Footnote anchor added to "glade" on Page 229

"he" changed to "the" on Page 251

Apostrophe changed to a comma after "biggin" on Page 253
