Punctuation and spelling were made consistent when a predominant preference was found in this book; otherwise they were not changed. Simple typographical errors were corrected; occasional unbalanced quotation marks retained. Ambiguous hyphens at the ends of lines were retained; occurrences of inconsistent hyphenation have not been changed. Some entries in the original List of Illustrations indicated that the illustration was “facing” a page. Those indications have been removed here, as all illustrations have been positioned between nearby paragraph breaks. The illustration on page 14 contains a few bars of music. Index not checked for proper alphabetization or correct page references. Page 114: The year “1860” was printed that way, but in context, seems to be a misprint.
