Simple typographical errors were corrected; occasional unbalanced quotation marks retained.

Ambiguous hyphens at the ends of lines were retained; occurrences of inconsistent hyphenation have not been changed.

Index not checked for proper alphabetization or correct page references.

In the original book, the first page of each chapter began with the same decorative headpiece, and the first letter of the text was decorative. None of those is indicated in the Plain Text version of this eBook.

The Sideotes and the Table of Contents originally were printed in italics. For clarity, the standard italics indicators (underscores) have been removed from the sidenotes and Table of Contents in this version of this eBook.

Text frequently uses both “Citizens Association” and “Citizens’ Association”. Both forms are retained here.
