● Transcriber’s Notes:
○ The engravings in this book are badly faded, and the scans are not
clear enough to always be certain of the words in the captions.
When a word isn’t clear, it’s replaced by [** illegible].
○ There was a footnote without a reference to it on page 47. The
reference was added to the main paragraph on that page. The nature
of the book referenced makes it likely that the footnote was meant
to provide authority for something in that paragraph.
○ The footnotes have geen gathered together and placed in a section
just before the Index, starting on page 165.
○ Missing or obscured punctuation was silently corrected.
○ Typographical errors were silently corrected.
○ Inconsistent spelling and hyphenation were made consistent only
when a predominant form was found in this book.
○ Text that was in italics is enclosed by underscores (_italics_);
text that was bold by “equal” signs (=bold=).
