[*] BIBLIOGRAPHICAL NOTE: The reprintings of thisbook since Cole'sdeath in 1918 have involved very few changes, and in most cases ithas been bibliographically misleading to term them "editions".Undoubtedly, somewhere in the past, the distinction between a"printing" and an "edition" has not been understood. However, withdue cognisance of the irregularity, the practice of giving eachreprint a new edition number accompanied by a running sales total isbeing maintained for statistical interest.
