This book is a scan of an 1869 printing. Its text was produced by OCR, so occasional misread words may remain; please compare with the PDF where a passage looks wrong. Common OCR misreadings (such as “tlie” for “the”) were corrected against a dictionary and the book’s own vocabulary; wording and spelling of the original were not changed.
