Transcriber’s Note:
This book was written in a period when many words had not become standardized in their spelling. Words may have multiple spelling variations or inconsistent hyphenation in the text. These have been left unchanged unless indicated below. Obsolete and alternative spellings were left unchanged.
Footnotes were renumbered sequentially and were moved to the end of the chapter. Obvious printing errors, such as backwards, reversed, upside down, or partially printed letters and punctuation were corrected. Final stops missing at the end of sentences and abbreviations were added. Duplicate words and letters at line endings or page breaks were removed. Quote marks, accents and parentheses were adjusted to standard usage.
In the index, there are numerous entries without corresponding volume or page numbers. There are additional entries with volume and page numbers that do not match the book.
The following were changed:
