TRANSCRIBER’S NOTES
Footnote anchors are denoted by [number], and the footnotes have been placed at the end of the relevant section.
Obvious typographical errors and punctuation errors have been corrected after careful comparison with other occurrences within the text and consultation of external sources.
Inconsistent spelling and hyphenation in the original has been retained: for example, overcrowded/over-crowded, saucepans/sauce-pans, and subtile/subtle, etc.
Duplicate headings have been removed to eliminate repetition.
