Transcriber's Note:Obvious punctuation and spelling errors repaired.Word combinations that appeared with and without hyphens were changed to the predominant hyphenated form.Original spelling and its variations were not standardized.Corrections in the spelling of names were made when those could be verified. Otherwise the variations were left as they were.Footnotes were moved to the ends of the chapters in which they they belonged and numbered in one continuous sequence. The pagination in index entries which referred to these footnotes was not changed to match their new locations and is therefore incorrect.Some index entries are not in alphabetical order. They were not corrected.Variant forms retained and errors corrected:Page 18: "Parrot-houses, the, sometimes...." changed to "Parrot-houses: they sometimes changed...."Page 170 and others: Kolobeng and Kolenbeng. Both spellings were retained.Page 191 and others: Tussa, tussack and tussock. All spellings were retained.Page 276: Finisterre changed to Finistère.Page 333: cennexion changed to connexion "... in connexion with the river Lee...."Page 352: Screw-pines, Crab climbing, 295; pagination changed to 298.The name of Shakespeare appears with varying spellings. All variants were kept.
