Photographs have been moved to fall on paragraph breaks. Since the full page illustrations were included in the pagination, this may mean that the page sequences are slightly disturbed where this occurs.

The few footnotes have been moved to follow the paragraphs in which they are referenced.

Minor errors, attributable to the printer, have been corrected. Please see the transcriber’s note at the end of this text for details regarding the handling of issues encountered during its preparation.

The cover image has been created, based on title page information, and is added to the public domain.
