Transcriber’s Notes
Obvious typographical errors have been silently corrected. Variations in hyphenation have been standardised but other spelling and punctuation remains unchanged. Variable spelling of the names of herbs have been corrected in the case of Stæchus which was sometimes spelled [Stæchas] and Zedoary sometimes spelled [Zeadory].
The introductory text to Part II appears to have been erroneously headed Chapter I. It has no subtitle and is not listed in the Contents. To avoid the confusion of duplicated Chapter numbers, this heading has been removed.
The cover was prepared by the transcriber and is placed in the public domain.
