Chapter 19:

Technical:
---------

Chapter headings have been changed from Roman to Arabic numerals, for
ease of use.

Due to the limitations of ASCII, the British "Pounds" symbol, a crossed
L, where it comes before a figure, has been replaced by "Pound(s)" after
the figure(s). When this substitution has been made, the word "Pound" is
always capitalised. Examples: "L1" is "1 Pound"; "L6 or L8" is "6 or 8 Pounds".

This text was transcribed from the Second Edition, which was first
printed in June of 1889.

A few foreign words had accents in the original edition. The most common
was "depo^t", which has since become standardized in English as "depot".
The others are "ame damnee" for "ame damne\e"; "cause celebre"
for "cause ce/le\bre"; and "vis-a-vis" for "vis-a\-vis". In the
advertisements listed below, "Athenaeum" was originally "Athen(ae)um".
