Transcriber's Notes

• I have used Letter anchors for the four footnotes in the introduction.
• Numbered all the notes at the end of the text and inserted appropriate anchors in the text.
• Footnote No. 54 on page 28 has the wrong line number and is positioned two notes after where it should be. Corrected the position.
• "judgment" was used consistently throughout the text.
