Transcriber's note:
Right-hand-page heads have been set right-justified before the appropriate paragraphs.
Footnotes are at the end of the chapter. Asterisks have been added to show where the notes occur in the text (unless at end of chapter). Four notes from the Errata to Vol. I (in Vol. II) have been added, and the other corrections indicated there made.
The statistical tables in the Appendices have been rearranged for .TXT format, using long lines when required and joining tables split across pages.
Lines set as caps and small caps have been transcribed as upper-and- lower-case (except some table headings).
The typographic fist is transcribed by the right guillamet (ยป).
