I'm not sure what the question is.

I think I do....

Lift is a vector. If a wing drops a little bit, the vertical
(lift)component of the wing is greater than the vertical component of
the raised wing. (The raised wing now also has a horizontal component.)

Having the greater vertical component helps it to raise itself. This is
just a stability aid, not a wing leveller. Some airplanes are anhedral,
to improve the "rollability" of it.

Would anyone care to comment on the accuracy of this illustration of how
wing dihedral works from a 1981 Jeppesen Sanderson book.

The accompanying statement reads:
"When an aircraft with dihedral rolls so that one wind is lower than the
other, the lower wing will have more effective lift than the raised wing
because it is not tilted from the horizontal as much. The imbalance in lift
tends to raise the lower wing and restore level flight."
