Transcriber's Note
In Lecture I, there are paragraphs numbered 1 to 8 but omitting 4. This is as in the original, as is the inconsistent hyphenation of the words “lawgiver” and “twofold”. In two instances, errors of punctuation have been corrected, and in one case obscured words have been guessed. These places are on pages [56], [76] and [111], marked like this.
