Chapter I: Front Matter

Transcriber's note:

In this work, all spellings and punctuation were
reproduced from the original work except in the very few
cases where an obvious typo occurred. These typos are
corrected without comment.

In the original work, monetary pounds were expressed as
an italicized "l." after the number. For the text
version, I am using the more conventional L100 form for
clarity.

In the original volumes in this set, each even-numbered
page had a header consisting of the page number, the
volume title, and the chapter number. The odd-numbered
page header consisted of the year of the diary entry, a
subject phrase, and the page number. In this set of
e-books, the year is included as part of the date (which
in the original volume were in the form reproduced here,
minus the year). The subject phrase has been converted to
sidenotes, usually positioned where it seemed most
logical but occasionally simply between two paragraphs of
the even-odd pair.

In the original book set, consisting of three volumes,
the master index was in Volume 3. In this set of e-books,
the index has been duplicated into each of the other
volumes. To make the index easier to use in this work,
the page number has been added to each Diary date.
