Transcriber’s Note
Minor printer’s errors were corrected by the transcriber; otherwise, as far as possible, original spelling and punctuation have been retained.
There were many errors in the ancient Greek in the printed text; some of these were introduced by the translator, and some were present in the French edition. In this file, as far as possible, the ancient Greek is identical to that of the English text as printed.
The cover image was created by the transcriber and placed in the public domain.
