A NOTE ABOUT THE EPIGRAPHS
At the beginning of each chapter we have included
a complete poem selected from Robert Louis Steven-
son's collection of poetry entitled "A Child's Garden
Of Verses." Each poem seems to fit the material of
the chapter it heads very well. Do you think that old
Bob oh, never mind.
