Transcriber's Note:
- Hyphens splitting words across lines have been removed.
- Original spellings have generally been retained, but the Errata from the Second Edition (at the end), and a mistake in the Errata (!) have been marked like this.
- The Latin epigraph translates as: “They all represent themselves as Doctors—The Uneducated, The Priest, The Nurse, and The Barber, The Apothecary, The Old Woman.”
