Transcriber’s Notes
New original cover art included with this eBook is granted to the public domain.
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.
The List of Illustrations has been resequenced to match the sequence in which the illustrations actually appear in the original book. Portions of it have been restructured slightly.
The List of Illustrations indicates that two sketches are in color, but they are not.
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.
The ERRATUM on page 100 has been corrected here.
Transcriber added column separator lines to the Chronology and made the columns narrower. The columns are centered, as they were in the original book. Footnotes, originally at the bottoms of the pages on which they were referenced, have been collected, sequentially renumbered, and moved to the end of the main text, just before the Index.
The index was not checked for proper alphabetization or correct page references.
