                          Transcriber’s Note:
                          ###################

    This e-text is based on the 1908 edition of the book. Minor
    punctuation errors have been tacitly corrected. Inconsistencies
    in hyphenation and spelling, such as ‘ale-house’/‘alehouse’ and
    ‘Mary Wilcocks’/‘Mary Willcocks,’ have been retained. The asterism
    symbols in the book catalogue at the end of this text have been
    inverted for presentation on electronic media.

    The following passage has been corrected:

    # p. 126: ‘1852’ → ‘1825’
    # p. 685: ‘fro mthe’ →
