Inconsistencies and variations in punctuation, spelling, hyphenation, capitalization and grammar have been preserved to match the text of the original document published in 1799.
Because the original plate for [Page 25] made only a partial impression, some words along the left side of the page were cut off. Words that were determined from context appear with a dotted underline.
