Transcriber's note:
"Inconsistent hyphenation and spelling in the original document have been preserved. Obvious typographical errors have been corrected. Accents on foreign names have been added where necessary.
The ERRATA given in this edition are indicated by dotted lines under the corrections. Scroll the mouse over the word and the original text will appear.
An abbreviation key for the table was added on page 411, as it was too large in the original to be read easily in this format.
The transcriber's note at the end of this e-book lists the other corrections that have been made.
