Transcriber’s Notes

Punctuation, hyphenation, and spelling were made consistent when a predominant preference was found in the original book; otherwise they were not changed.

Simple typographical errors were corrected; unbalanced quotation marks were remedied when the change was obvious, and otherwise left unbalanced.

Armament and other sizes and quantities were printed in inconsistent ways.

Illustrations in this eBook have been positioned between paragraphs and outside quotations. In versions of this eBook that support hyperlinks, the page references in the List of Illustrations lead to the corresponding illustrations.

Footnotes, originally at the bottoms of the pages that referenced them, have been collected, sequentially renumbered, and placed near the end of the book, just before the index.

The index for both volumes was printed at the end of the second volume. The Transcriber has copied that index to the first volume.

Many alphebetization errors in the index were remedied, but some may remain. Page references in the index were checked automatically, but some may be incorrect.

Page 28: The table contains an asterisk for which there is no matching footnote.
