Copyright notice provided as in the original—this e-text is public domain in the country of publication.
Silently corrected palpable typos, leaving non-standard spellings and dialect unchanged.
Provided an original cover image, for unrestricted free use with this Distributed Proofreaders-Canada eBook.
Only in the text versions, delimited italicized text (or non-italicized text within poetry) in _underscores_ (the HTML version reproduces the font form of the printed book.)
Checked image captions by collating several imperfectly-preserved scansets (two or three captions were not recoverable.)
