TRANSCRIBER'S NOTE Obvious typographical errors and punctuation errors have been corrected after careful comparison with other occurrences within the text and consultation of external sources. Except for those changes noted below, all misspellings in the text, and inconsistent or archaic usage, have been retained. Pg 31: '3d, 5, 7th' replaced by '3d, 5th, 7th'. The advert page at the front of the original book had the first complete line of each of the sixteen entries in bold font. This has been slightly modified so that only the title of each entry is bolded. The back cover had book and magazine adverts printed on both sides. A thin strip of tape covered or partially covered some words on the right hand side of the outside cover page, 3 or 4 letters per line. The obscured letters have been reconstructed with a high degree of confidence in the accuracy of the etext. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
