Transcriber’s note:

      Text enclosed by underscores is in italics (_italics_).

      The author’s style is that of a non-native speaker of English,
      and in places is grammatically unusual, mixing tenses and
      using odd sentence structure. Only printer’s errors have been
      changed; a full list is given at the end.
