This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed.

The eyes are sunken, often suffused with an abundant secretion from the conjunctiva. The features present a stolid appearance, without any expression of intelligence.
