Transcriber’s Notes
Reading edition
Copyright notice provided as in the original—this e-text is public domain in the country of publication.
Created cover and spine images based on elements of the printed book.
Added a Table of Contents based on chapter headings in the printed book.
In the text versions, delimited italics text in _underscores_ (the HTML version reproduces the font form of the printed book.)
Silently corrected palpable typos; left non-standard spellings and dialect unchanged.
