This e-book has an unusual structure, being a compilation of eight smaller books accompanied by eight related sets of numbered explanatory notes provided by the author. It also contains several hundred footnotes scattered throughout the text (many being Greek spellings of words in the text). These have been given alphabetic labels and are now grouped together as endnotes. All notes have been hyperlinked to facilitate access. Hyperlinks have also been added to index items and to the table of contents.
Numerous asterisks are present in parts of the text; these represent uncertain quantities, not footnotes, as explained in [notes] on p. xxxii. The text also contains archaic characters that may not display correctly with all viewing devices or fonts. For best viewing, the device’s character encoding should be set to Unicode (UTF-8), and one of the following fonts selected: Arial Unicode MS, DejaVu, Segoe UI Symbol or FreeSerif.
The text has been preserved as in the original, including inconsistent punctuation, capitalisation and hyphenation. Archaic and inconsistent spellings have been retained except where obviously misspelled in the original. A [list] of these and other corrections has been appended at the end.
The cover image of the book was created by the transcriber and is placed in the public domain.
