Transcriber’s Note:

The several full-page illustrations have been repositioned slightly to avoid falling in mid-paragraph. The captions appeared on a separate page. These illustrations were not included in the pagination. Multiple unnumbered blank pages associated with them have been removed.

Minor errors, attributable to the printer, have been corrected. Please see the transcriber’s note at the end of this text for details.

Any corrections are indicated using an underline highlight. Placing the cursor over the correction will produce the original text in a small popup.

Any corrections are indicated as hyperlinks, which will navigate the reader to the corresponding entry in the corrections table in the note at the end of the text.
