Transcriber's note:
The letter "e" with a macron is rendered [=e] in this text.
The astute reader will notice there is no Chapter XV in the Table of Contents or in the text. This was a
printer's error in the original book. The chapters were incorrectly numbered, but no chapter was missing. This
e-book has been transcribed to match the original.
