- Page 235, the third and fourth lines were swapped.
- Page 240, the section number 4 was corrected to 5.
- Page 289, there is a page break after section 2 and the following section is also numbered 2. The page break was deleted and the following two sections renumbered.
- Page 295, the section number 2 was corrected to 3.
- Missing or obscured punctuation was silently corrected.
- Inconsistent spelling and hyphenation were made consistent only when a predominant form was found in this book.
