Transcriber’s Note

In general, spelling is retained as printed. On occasion, apparent printer’s errors, however, are corrected, where the author uses a more standard spelling elsewhere (e.g., ’acknowleges’ on p. 283). Where the printer simply missed a word (e.g.,‘hand’ on p. 151), it is added.

This table summarizes the various issues detected, and their resolution.
