The cover is in the public domain. Uncertain or antiquated spellings or ancient words were not corrected. The illustrations have been moved so that they do not break up paragraphs and so that they are next to the text they illustrate. Typographical errors have been silently corrected but other variations in spelling and punctuation remain unaltered. |
