FOOTNOTES:

Transcriber's note:

Minor typographical and punctuation errors have been corrected without note. Irregularities and inconsistencies in the text have been retained as printed.

The illustrations have been moved so that they do not break up paragraphs, thus the page number of the illustration might not match the page number in the List of Illustrations.

Mismatched quotes are not fixed if it's not sufficiently clear where the missing quote should be placed.

The cover for the eBook version of this book was created by the transcriber and is placed in the public domain.

Page 116: the transcriber has changed Chalpulepec to Chalpultepec.

Page 229: for ease of reading, the transcriber inserted a new paragraph break where there was none, to begin a block quote. 'was rapidly declining in health. "But his mind did not share the ills'
