Transcriber’s Note
                          ##################

This e-text is based on a reproduction of the original 1897 edition.
All modern material has been removed.

Italic text in the original version has been placed between underscores
(_text_); passages in small caps have been symbolised by forward
slashes (/small caps/). Subscript numerals have been placed between
curly braces ({2}).

Inconsistencies in hyphenation and spelling (to-morrow/tomorrow;
aerial/aërial, etc.), as well as incorrectly used phrases in Van
Helsing’s speech have been retained. A number of obvious errors in
punctuation and inconsistencies in single/double quotation have been
tacitly removed.

                 page vi.
