Transcriber’s Note
Compound words that are hyphenated on a line or page break retain the hyphen if warranted by the preponderance of mid-line instances of the same word elsewhere. Where hyphenation is inconsistent in mid-line occurrences, the text is given here as printed.
There are numerous instances of commas appearing as full stops, which we attribute to the printing process (vi.6, vii.31, 16.5, 26.1, 30.25, 46.2, 108.4, 114.30, 115.23, 121.18, 292.11, 350.27).
Errors deemed most likely to be the printer’s have been corrected, and are noted below. Where the apparent error occurs in quoted text, we defer to the text as printed.
The references are to the page and line in the original.
