Transcriber’s Notes
Depending on the hard- and software used to read this text, and their settings, not all elements may display as intended. Some tables are best viewed in a wide browser window; in narrow windows or small screens, it may be necessary to reduce the character size in order to see the entire tables.
Inconsistent spelling and hyphenation have been retained, as have unusual and archaic spelling, except as mentioned below. The book’s use of quote marks at the beginning and end of paragraphs is inconsistent as well.
The following plans are not present in the source document: No. 220, No. 809 and No. 1027.
In most cases the Plans have been considered as chapters. Some Plans, however, clearly are part of a chapter; these have been treated as sections. The formatting of chapter and section headings have not been standardised, except as listed below.
In lists and tables, the (lack of) numerical or alphabetical order of entries has not been corrected unless listed below.

Changes made
Footnotes, tables and illustrations have been moved out of text paragraphs. Some tables have been split or re-arranged.
The book occasionally uses multiple footnote markers for a single footnote. Where necessary or more convenient, such footnotes have been duplicated. In some footnotes, Idem has been replaced with the full text for the sake of clarity.
Obvious minor typographical and punctuation errors have been corrected silently.
