The "Index" near the beginning of the book actually is a Table of Contents for the four-volume set.
Page [11]: the last paragraph seems to end abruptly: "to prove that"
Page [94]: "parent's" probably should be "parents'", but is unchanged here.
Page [236]: the closing parenthesis for "(destiny)" also seems to be the closing parenthesis for the phrase beginning "(because he is given ...". There are several instances in this text where a closing quotation mark is shared in a similar manner.
Footnote Issues
In these notes, "anchor" means the reference to a footnote, and "footnote" means the information to which the anchor refers. Anchors occur within the main text, while footnotes are grouped in sequence at the end of this eBook. The structure of the original book required two exceptions to this, as explained below.
The original text used a combination of footnotes (indicated by symbols) and endnotes (indicated by numbers). In this eBook, they have been combined into a single, ascending sequence based on the sequence in which the footnotes occurred in the original book, and placed at the end of the eBook. Several irregularities are explained below.
Footnotes sometimes were printed in a different sequence than their anchors (as on page [60]: third and fourth footnotes were printed in incorrect sequence). and the symbols used for the anchors sometimes were in a different sequence than the footnotes (as on page [72], second and third symbols). Except as noted below, all footnotes have been resequenced to match the sequence of their anchors.
