Transcriber’s Note:

The many sections of this volume are presented in order of the month and day, regardless of the year, beginning with January 1.

The Contents lists the topics alphabetically, and refers to a date (month and day) rather than a page number. These descriptions do not necessarily exactly match the title of the sections verbatim, and the same section occasionally appears twice, with different descriptions. There is a more detailed index at the end of the volume, with page references.

To facilitate navigation, the dates in the Contents are linked to the correct topics.

The few footnotes have been collected at the end of each section, and are linked for ease of reference.

Basic information from the titlepage has been added to the blank green cover and, so enhanced, is added to the public domain.

Minor errors, attributable to the printer, have been corrected. Please see the transcriber’s [note] at the end of this text for details regarding the handling of any issues encountered during its preparation.

Any corrections are indicated using an underline highlight. Placing the cursor over the correction will produce the original text in a small popup.

Any corrections are indicated as hyperlinks, which will navigate the reader to the corresponding entry in the corrections table in the note at the end of the text.
