Transcriber’s Note

References in the book to its illustrations are by “Plate” with Roman numerals. The illustrations themselves are labelled “Plate” with Arabic numerals. A plate’s number in Roman numerals is equal to a plate’s number in Arabic numerals. In several instances the author has spelled words differently to the accepted way. That spelling is retained in this transcription. The illustration on the book’s cover is referred to in the text as Plate 16.
