Transcriber's Notes

Obvious typographical errors have been silently corrected. Variations in hyphenation, spelling and punctuation remain unchanged except where there is conflict with the index.

In the original the side notes appear at the head of each page. Most have been moved to the beginning of a proximate paragraph. In cases where paragraphs are several pages long, they remain embedded in the text.

The errata have been implemented.

The table of contents has been added by the transcriber.
