Transcriber's Note: Obvious mis-spellings and printing errors have been corrected. Variant spellings of the same word have been retained. With the exception of Note 263, which was retained to facilitate the numbering of footnotes, corrections indicated on the Errata page have been made. Notes 50 and 287, and pages iii and iv mentioned in Errata, are notes 59 and 297, and pages 67 and 68 respectively herein. Footnotes, which are numerous, are placed immediately following the section of the text in which they appear. The word, negors , is not believed to be a typographical error. A missing, censored, or omitted word on page 17 has been shown by ——. See note p. 37 in Footnote 1 and see note pp. 48, 49 in Footnote II have been changed to See note Q and see note CC respectively to conform to the footnote numbering in this document.
