Transcriber’s Note:

Footnotes have been collected at the end of each chapter, and are linked for ease of reference.

Not all illustrations are mentioned in the table of ‘Embellishments’. Most chapters include both a illustration above the chapter head, and a trailing caption at the end. With a few exceptions the heading illustrations have no captions.

Illustrations which refer in their captions to a facing page have been positioned to precede that page. These were not included in the pagination. Others, also mentioned in the table, have been moved slightly to fall on paragraph breaks. While these were included in the pagination, no page numbers were printed, and are skipped here as well.

Any corrections are indicated using an underline highlight. Placing the cursor over the correction will produce the original text in a small popup.

Minor errors, attributable to the printer, have been corrected. Please see the transcriber’s note at the end of this text for details regarding the handling of any textual issues encountered during its preparation.

Any corrections are indicated as hyperlinks, which will navigate the reader to the corresponding entry in the corrections tale in the note at the end of the text.
