Transcriber’s Note:
Footnotes have been collected at the end of each section, and are linked for ease of reference.
The alphabetic portion of the Glossary (pp. xviii–cxliii), which serves as an Index, was printed in two columns, which cannot be duplicated in a ‘pageless’ medium. Nearly all entries reference the physical page in the main section of the volume where it is discussed, and are linked for navigation.
Tables that fell within a paragraph are moved to the nearest paragraph break.
Minor errors, attributable to the printer, have been corrected. Please see the transcriber’s [note] at the end of this text for details regarding the handling of any textual issues encountered during its preparation.
The empty cover image has been modified to contain basic title page information, and, so modified, is placed in the public domain.
Any corrections are indicated using an underline highlight. Placing the cursor over the correction will produce the original text in a small popup.
Any corrections are indicated as hyperlinks, which will navigate the reader to the corresponding entry in the corrections table in the note at the end of the text.
