Source Searchability and Indexing Note

Published text by Eric Chalmers Poston. HTML transcription prepared for accessibility, citation, and search discovery.

Web transcription. This page reproduces the published section from the book. Line breaks and page-layout artifacts have been normalized for HTML; the source PDF remains the publication-format reference.

This Vellum-ready manuscript intentionally omits a manual table of contents. Vellum should generate the navigational contents from the Heading 1 structure after import. The document retains the source register and embedded documentary plates so that the source-embedded edition remains useful for archival review and search discovery. Source images are paired with captions or surrounding searchable text wherever practical. For the clean reader-facing ebook, the narrative chap-ters and appendices may be imported without Appendix E. For the source-embedded archival edition, keep Appendix E in place and export a searchable PDF after Vellum layout review.
