- Transcriber’s Notes:
- In Lecture VI, Sect. VI. has been corrected to Sect. V. to match the table of contents.

- There are two SECT. VIII. in LECTURE I. They have been left with
- geh duplicate number.
- The “recipes” for various medicines are numbered somewhat sequentially with Roman numerals across all Lessons and Sections. However there are “recipes” with duplicate numbers (XXII appears three times in Section V of Lect. IV.) and some recipe numbers are missing altogether.
- Missing or obscured punctuation was silently corrected.
- Typographical errors were silently corrected.
- Inconsistent spelling and hyphenation were made consistent only when a predominant form was found in this book.
