Transcriber’s Note
The name of a Greek officer, Alexiano, is misspelled in both the table of content’s description of Chapter XIV, and the summary at the head of the chapter itself. Both were corrected.
Errors deemed most likely to be the printer’s have been corrected, and are noted here. Except in the most obvious cases, spelling in quoted text is not corrected, but is noted. The references are to the page and line in the original.
