Original Table of Contents: as present in the source document. The reason for the order of entries is not clear, and some chapters are not listed, nor are the sections. The structure of the text has been determined based on what seemed the most logical interpretation of (the lay-out of) the chapter and section headings in the text. The Extended Table of Contents in the back of the book has been created for this text on the basis of this assumed structure; the page numbers i through iv have been inserted for this Table of Contents.
The text refers to the plates by both Roman and Arabic numbers. This has not been standardised. The numbering of the actual plates has been standardised.
The illustrations in the plates in the back of the book have been individually scaled for better visibility. Where relevant, links to larger versions of the illustrations have been provided (not available in all formats).
