[Transcriber’s note: 

1.  Some of the biblical references in the original seem to be mistaken.  All the references were left as in the original.  The following is a list of uncertain references, usually together with a possible alternate reference.

2.  As there is no one way to transcribe Arabic and Hebrew place names, I left all the names as they appear in the original.  Nevertheless, I tried to keep consistency and used a single spelling when a place was mentioned using two possible spellings.

3.  The inconsistency of capitalization (e.g., Sub-section/sub-section, Sergeant/sergeant) and punctuation (mostly inside/outside quotation marks) are thus in the original book.]
