Reading edition
Transcriber’s note: The etext attempts to replicate the printed book as closely as possible. Many obvious errors in spelling and punctuation have been corrected. Certain consistently used archaic spellings have been retained (i.e. secresy, boquet, unforseen, caligraphy, caligrapher, conjuror, etc.) A list of the corrections made follows the etext. The footnotes have been moved to the end of the text body.
