The text of this e-book has mostly been preserved in its original form, including inconsistent italics, capitalisation, hyphenation and diacritics; however, some infelicities have been corrected silently, e.g. missing/inconsistent punctuation, parentheses and spacing. Several footnote markers have been inserted where they were missing from the text. The _very_ long table of contents has somewhat inconsistent levels of indentation that don’t correspond accurately with headings used in the text. Some illustrations have been moved nearer to the relevant text and their locations may differ from those specified in the list of illustrations. A few illustrations that lacked an identifying number have been correctly numbered. The book contains extensive sections of quoted text but these are identified by square brackets rather than by traditional quotation marks. Two different sized fonts were used to print the original body text, a feature that is replicated in this transcription. Several short passages of text were inserted by the printer at the last minute, and these are enclosed in lightly shaded text boxes.
A list of spelling corrections and inconsistencies is appended at the end of the book.
