Transcriber's Notes:

Inconsistencies in spelling, punctuation, and hyphenation have been retained from the original.

The text includes two footnote markers [7]; both refer to the same footnote.

Additional spacing after some of the quotes and tables is intentional to indicate both the end of a quotation and the beginning of a new paragraph as presented in the original text.
