TRANSCRIBER’S NOTE

Original spelling and grammar have been generally retained, with some exceptions noted below. Original printed page numbers are shown like this: {52}. Footnotes and other anchored notes have been relabeled 1–73, and moved from within paragraphs to nearby locations between paragraphs. I produced the cover image and hereby assign it to the public domain.

Large curly brackets that graphically indicate combination of information on two or more lines of text have been removed. The text was modified, if necessary, to retain the original meaning. In most cases, as on page [8], this was trivial. However, the task was not trivial for the chart beginning at the bottom of page [11], so errors of interpretation are not impossible. For reference, the original image is shown below.
