Transcriber’s Notes:Several footnote references just said “See Appendix.” without specifying which (there
are 15.) The references have been resolved as well as was possible. Some footnotes had no references to them in the text. These were assumed to be
additional material for the entire page, or pages, and a reference was created. Some index entries were reformatted to be more consistent with the majority of the
entries. Missing or obscured punctuation was silently corrected. Typographical errors were silently corrected. Inconsistent spelling and hyphenation were made consistent only when a predominant
form was found in this book.
