Transcriber’s Note
Words may have inconsistent hyphenation in the text. These have been left unchanged unless indicated below. Paragraphs end without punctuation when followed by a quotation by the same character.
Obvious printing errors, such as backwards, reversed, upside down, or partially printed letters, were corrected. Final stops missing at the end of sentences and abbreviations were added. Duplicate words or letters at line endings or page breaks were removed.
