Transcriber's Note:
Inconsistent hyphenation and spelling in the original document have been preserved. Obvious typographical errors have been corrected.
Some illustrations were originally located in the middle of paragraphs. These have been adjusted so as not to interrupt the flow of reading. In some cases this means that the page number of the illustration is not visible.
