Transcriber’s Notes
In the HTML version of this text, original page numbers are enclosed in a box and presented in the right margin.
Footnotes have been renumbered and moved to the end of the book.
Misspelled words have been corrected (see below). Archaic, inconsistent and alternative spellings have been left unchanged. Hyphenation has not been standardised.
Ellipsis placement has been modified in order to facilitate text reflow. In most cases ellipses between sentences have been merged with the closing punctuation of the preceding sentence. Ellipses between words within a sentence have had spaces added before and after.
