Transcriber's Notes

Variations in spelling, hyphenation, capitalization, and punctuation
have been retained from the original book. The Table of Contents and
List of Illustrations do not exactly match the chapter, section, and
illustration titles in the text.

The following changes have been made:

Page 70: Missing word "of" added (avail themselves of the means).

Page 183: Typo estalishment changed to establishment (establishment of
telegraphic communication).

Tables in the Appendix have been modified in format, but not in
content, to fit the plain-text spacing constraints.
