Reading edition
Copyright notice provided as in the original—this e-text is public domain in the country of publication.
Silently corrected palpable typos; left non-standard spellings and dialect unchanged.
Left unchanged the hopelessly confused quotation marks around the quoted song on page 237.
In the text versions, delimited italics text in _underscores_ (the HTML version reproduces the font form of the printed book.)
