Transcriber’s Note: ###################
This e-text is based on the 1900 edition of the book. Minor punctuation errors, as well as inconsistencies in hyphenation, have been tacitly corrected; misspelled or inconsistent proper names, however, have been retained. Geographical names and names referring to tribes or nations have been harmonised.

Underscores (text): italic Forward slashes (/text/): small caps Hash marks (#text#): bold equals signs (=text=): vertically formatted text
