Transcriber's Notes

Variations in spelling, punctuation and hyphenation have been retained
except in obvious cases of typographical errors. Inconsistencies
between the text and index have been resolved in favour of the text.

Duplication of the sub title (The Mystery of Space) on consecutive
pages has been removed.

Italics are shown thus _italic_.

In the five cases where illustrations could be realistically rendered
using only text symbols this has been done.
