You said above, Please do NOT read the footnotes or the [Illustration: titles] scattered throughout! Pretty please, and thank you!

How do you feel about the inline references? For example, Chapter 2, paragraph 6, on China, we see:
"This is discussed by Father Martin (MSS. of De Lisle); also by M. Desvignolles (Mem. Acad. Berlin, vol. iii., p. 193), and by M. Kirsch (ditto, vol. v., p. 19), who both found . . . "

Why (MSS. of De Lisle) and (Mem. Acad. Berlin, vol. iii., p. 193) and (ditto, vol. v., p. 19) were not made as footnotes, I cannot guess. But, since they smell an awful lot like footnotes, would you like them skipped?

I saw those, and I feel the same as you. My basic stance on footnotes is, if they add to the "story," then add them. If not, then don't worry about them. Those references don't add to the information, so feel free to leave them out! Thank you for asking!
