Transcriber's Notes:

The use of chapter, section, and page headers in this book wasinconsistent. There are two chapters titled "Public Buildings" (startingP. 86 and P. 127). The chapters "Public Squares" (P. 181) and"Excursions" (P. 199) switched from a titled paragraph format used inthe rest of the book to small cap beginnings for paragraphs (retained).

In some cases, there were changes in topics with no correspondingchange in section headings. To mark these topic changes, thetranscriber placed additional thought breaks, not present in theoriginal, at the following locations: P. 137 (Hotels); P. 144 (Works,Armories, Fire Department); P. 157 (Exchanges); and P. 169(Galleries).

The abbreviation "do" (used primarily in the index and routingtables) means "ditto."

The Table of Contents at the beginning has been added by the transcriber;it was not present in the original.

Remaining transcriber's notes are at the end of the text.
