Editor's Note:
Originally published in 1954.
This book has been digitally re-mastered to remove artifacts that occur during aging; faded colors are restored to clarity and vibrancy; pages are straightened and trimmed; blurred text is sharpened and images are enhanced and scaled. Although we do all we can to provide you with the best image quality possible, there are times when age gets the best of us, and we are unable to fix certain things without hurting the integrity of the book. Even with the most sophisticated processing rare books may contain some permanent flaws.
