About this digital edition

How the text was made, and the printer's errors corrected

The text is Project Gutenberg’s transcription (ebook #2433), from the public-domain printed edition, made by volunteers.

For this site it was converted to Markdown: Project Gutenberg’s header and licence, the printed page numbers, the illustrations and the printed table of contents were removed, and the headings were regularised so the book divides into chapters. The words of the text are as Project Gutenberg gives them.
