Transcriber's Note:
Due to an accusation of libel, some pages had tobe rewritten and reprinted before the book was bound. Pages 1-24 were notprinted and are missing from the original. See the Preface for moreinformation.
The original uses two kinds of blockquotes--one type has words in asmaller font, and the other uses extra white space before and after thequotation. The transcriber has used wider margins to represent thesmaller font and higher line heights to represent the quotations withextra white space.
Variations in spelling and hyphenation have been left as in theoriginal. A few typographical errors have been corrected. A completelist as well as other notes can be found after the text.
A row of asterisks represents an ellipsis in a poetry quotation.
