TRANSCRIBER'S NOTE

This etext differs from the original in the following ways. Some missing
periods have been inserted. The original used "some how" and "somehow"
about equally; all have been changed to "somehow." The OE ligature, used
several times, is shown as [oe]. In the advertisements at the end of the
book, uses of the pointing-hand symbols (Unicode #9758, White Right
Pointing Index, and Unicode #9756, White Left Pointing Index) have been
replaced with the right (") and left (") double-angle symbols from the
ISO 8859-1 character set. Finally, evident typographical errors have
been corrected as follows:
