                           Transcriber’s Note

 Obvious typos and punctuation errors corrected. Variations in spelling
   and hyphenation retained.

 A small floral decoration appears in most page headers in the original.
   This decoration has been preserved in the html and ebook versions at
   the end of chapters. It has not been preserved in the text version.

 An illustration in the front matter of a prison door with bars
   surrounding the book title has been replicated in the text with ascii
   art.

 Italic text is represented by underscores surrounding the _italic
   text_.

 Small capitals in the original have been converted to ALL CAPS in the
   text.
