Transcriber's Note
Minor typographical errors (omitted punctuation, omitted or transposed
letters, etc.) have been amended without note. Inconsistent
hyphenation and accent use has been made consistent within the main
text, again without note. Any inconsistencies between quotations and
the main text remain as printed.
There is a lot of archaic language in this text, which remains as
printed. The author also used alternative spelling in places (e.g.
Epimethus rather than the more usual Epimetheus); this remains as
printed. There is a reference to Michael Angelo on page 203 and in
the Index, by which the author presumably meant Michelangelo; this
has also been left as printed.
The following amendments have been made:
Page 268--were amended to was--"... with Saragossa still
unconquered was too much to hope for."
Page 304--Kemoc amended to Larguen--"Then Larguen, in
furious anger, ..."
Illustrations have been moved so that they are not in mid-paragraph.
The frontispiece illustration has been moved to follow the title page.
OE and oe ligatures have not been retained in this version.

follows:
