TRANSCRIBER'S NOTES

Used a comma instead of a space after every third digit from right to left in numbers of more than three digits in keeping with authors preference.

Table 9 on p. 228 has an error in the math. The total of the second column is $1,259,149,434 instead of $1,259,049,434. The latter does agree with the difference arrived at in the next line.

Added "Grand total—All assets" to last line in Table 10 on p. 230 as this description agrees with the actual totals provided.

Silently corrected simple spelling, grammar, and typographical errors.

Retained anachronistic and non-standard spellings as printed.
