Transcriber’s Notes:
- Blank pages have been removed.
- There are two types of footnotes: numbered footnotes are listed in the “Notes” sections, and starred footnotes appear immediately following the paragraph they refer to.
- Obvious typographical errors have been silently corrected.
- Illustration internal text is replicated in the external caption, more extensive text is replicated in linked transcriptions at the end of the book.
- Text transcribed from images or documents has been left as is.
