This text uses UTF-8 (Unicode) file encoding. If the apostrophes and quotation marks in this paragraph appear as garbage, you may have an incompatible browser or unavailable fonts. First, make sure that your browser’s “character set” or “file encoding” is set to Unicode (UTF-8). You may also need to change the default font.

Typographical errors are shown in the text with mouse-hover popups; minor notations are similarly marked. Some Latin passages use the abbreviation “q;” for “que”. Unless otherwise noted, French accents were printed as shown. This includes pairs such as a : à and ou : où. Some questioned readings were checked against the 1714 French original.

In the original text, footnotes were identified with marks: * † For this e-text they have been numbered from 1 within each chapter. Footnotes added by the transcriber are identified with letters (1a, 1b). The word “possibly” means that an attribution exists but the transcriber has not personally seen the source text.
