Transcriber’s Notes
Reading edition
Retained publication information from the printed edition: this eBook is public-domain in the country of publication.
Silently corrected a few typos.
Modified some references to plates for more convenient hyperlinking (e.g., “Plate 17a & c” changed to “Plate 17a, 17c”).
In the text versions only, text in italics is delimited by _underscores_.
