TRANSCRIBER’S NOTE

This is Volume 2 of 3. The first volume can be found in Project Gutenberg at: http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/57016

The List of Illustrations has been copied from Volume I. This list describes six illustrations, two in each volume.

As the Editor notes in his Preface in Volume I, “Some, though very few, coarse expressions, have been suppressed by the Editor, and the vacant spaces filled up by asterisks.” There is one such occurrence in this volume (on page 205). Some omitted text is indicated by * * * (on page 416.)

The Editor has also inserted the occasional [word] in brackets, when that makes the passage more sensible.

Footnote anchors are denoted by [number], and the footnotes have been placed at the end of each chapter.

Some minor changes to the text are noted at the end of the book.
