Transcriber's note:
Some of the illustrations have been moved so that they correspond tothe text and do not break up paragraphs. The biggest change was themovement of the illustration "Maria lay dressed upon her bed" fromfacing page 100 to page 305, near the corresponding text. Because ofthese changes, the page numbers of the illustrations no longer matchthe page numbers in the List of Illustrations.
