About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1913 edition. Excerpt: ...Senator Lodge; it is free to Collier readers. Merely clip this coupon. l' rare occasions I use a taxicab.
