Notes:

The text for this electronic version of this book was taken from an original printed form, revised for XHTML/CSS and to follow our own formatting preferences. Pagination of the original edition has been included. Although considerable effort has been made to be true to the original printed edition, some modifications have been made in formatting for this electronic presentation.

Because the original material was prepared on a ordinary typewriter, with very little available in regard to formatting options, some liberties have been taken in this electronic presentation for the sake of improved appearance and readability. The use of underlines, for example, has been interpreted as indicating italics. In some cases, the rather eccentric formatting has been normalized as much as possible, for the benefit of the reader.

This book was originally published in 1970, and does not appear to have ever been reprinted. Kenneth Cameron and Transcendental Books originally owned the copyright, but does not appear to have renewed the copyright. Dr. Cameron died in 2006, at the age of 97, and having never married or had children, there is no readily identifiable heir. or has his publishing arm, Transcendental Books, been aborbed into any larger company. This status leaves it in something of a grey area in regard to copyright, and consequently it has not been possible to secure formal permission. This text, then, is presented under a broad assumption of fair use, and with the idea that Dr. Cameron, Dr. Benton and the other contributors would have been pleased to have their work widely available for personal or educational purposes and without any charge for access. If a reasonable claim for copyright can be documented, please contact the Poe Society of Baltimore to arrange for permission, or to request that we remove the material.
