Transcriber’s Notes
Reading edition
Copyright notice provided as in the original printed text—this e-text is public domain in the country of publication.
Silently corrected palpable typos; left non-standard spellings and dialect unchanged.
In the text versions, delimited italics text in _underscores_ (the HTML version reproduces the font form of the printed book.)
Marked with ellipses the end of page 129, where the printed edition apparently dropped a page or two from the manuscript.
