Transcriber's Notes:
- Several misprints (including Greek) were corrected. Hover over underlined word in the text to see the corrections made. A full list of corrections can be found at [the end] of the text. Misspellings and inconsistencies in the French quotations, unless otherwise noted, have been preserved.
- Footnotes have been renumbered and moved to the end of chapters.
- One of the footnotes on [page 177] had no footnote marker within the text; the reference was added in a possible place.
- Symbol of a hand pointing right has been replaced with a right arrow: →.
