Transcriber’s note

A few missing page numbers were added to the table of Contents, but other omissions and inconsistencies were preserved.

Some missing punctuation has been corrected, also the following changes were made, on page
24 under point 6 “a” changed to “d” ((d) Lastly, the most complete)
64 “IV.” added (IV. THE PERSONIFICATION)
95 “is” changed to “are” (Phenomena are often forthcoming)
368 “Phenomenon” changed to “Phenomena” (Phenomena of the same kind).

Otherwise the original was preserved, including inconsistent spelling and hyphenation and possible errors in languages other than English. Additional: Mallbranche, on page 429, should probably be Malebranche.
