[Transcriber's Note:

This text comes in three versions: Unicode (UTF-8), Latin-1 and ASCII.
Use the one that works best with your text reader.

--In the UTF-8 version, quotation marks and apostrophes are "curly".
Long s (see below) is shown as printed, and the "oe" ligature is
a single character.
--In the Latin-1 version, quotation marks and apostrophes have the
straight or "typewriter" form. Long s is shown in brackets as [s],
and "oe" is two characters. The "ae" ligature is a single letter,
and the paragraph mark Par. is shown as printed.
--In the ASCII or rock-bottom version, "ae" is two letters, and the
paragraph mark is shown as the word "Par."

Text originally printed in blackletter ("Gothic") type is shown between
*asterisks*. The original book (printed in 1890) used long "s" [s]
throughout. This has been retained only for title pages and similar
decorative text.

Missing spaces, punctuation--chiefly quotation marks--and single letters
are shown in {braces}. Other typographic errors are listed at the end of
the e-text, but are unchanged in the body text. Word-initial "u" and
medial "v" are in the original.

Volume I of this work, including the Introduction, is available from
Project Gutenberg as e-text 20241.]
