Many of the most important pictures are from photographs not retouched in the least, _e.g._, those facing pages 270, 284, 290, etc.
In others the sky-line has been indicated, _e.g._, those facing pages 208, 271, 299 (top), etc.; but change of no other sort has been made except to remove specks and other similar mechanical defects not widely extended.

The color-plates are, of course, exceptions requiring special treatment.
