Transcriber's Notes
Reading edition
Minor changes have been made to correct typesetters' errors; otherwise, every effort has been made to remain true to the author's words and intent.
The following spelling variants have been retained as printed:
"Lyon" and "Lyons"
"nearby" and "near-by"
"treetops" and "tree-tops"
"sha'n't" and "shan't"
On page 333, an asterisk * appears; however, there is no corresponding note in this book.
