A redundant column header in a table starting on page 107 and continuing on to page 108 has been removed. The two pages over which the table was spread no longer have a physical page break in this transcribed text. Thus there is no need to repeat the column header, which was at the top of the second (physical) page.

Footnotes have been re-indexed using numbers and collected together at the end of the book.

The cover image is a restored version using elements from the original cover and is placed in the public domain.
