Transcriber’s Notes
Reading edition
Copyright notice provided as in the original—this e-text is public domain in the country of publication.
Generated a Table of Contents based on the original chapter headings.
Omitted still-copyrighted illustrations from the printed original.
Generated a new Cover Image based on elements from the book.
Silently corrected palpable typos; left non-standard spellings and dialect unchanged.
In the text versions, delimited italics text in _underscores_ (the HTML version reproduces the font form of the printed book.)
Reversed the order of pages 86 and 87 to make the text coherent (and marked the exact limits of the re-ordered blocks by a dagger, †).
