Transcriber’s Note
These are old texts, and part of their value includes preserving them as written with all of their inconsistencies intact. That said, some probable printing errors were identified and fixed; [these are listed at the end]. In addition, word spacing and punctuation have been amended without further note. The listed errata have NOT been fixed, again in the interest of preserving the original.
