In versions of this eBook that support hyperlinks, the page references in the List of Illustrations lead to the corresponding illustrations.Titles from the List of Illustrations and List of Diagrams have been applied to the images as captions. The second jewellery illustration has a new caption, as the one from the index would be confusing out of context. Illustrations that did not have a title have had a descriptive caption added, these are indicated with parentheses.Obvious typographical errors and punctuation errors have been corrected after careful comparison with other occurrences within the text and consultation of external sources.Some hyphens in words have been silently removed, some added, when a predominant preference was found in the original book.Errata listed on page 167 have been applied to the text.
