Transcriber’s Note:
Footnotes were lettered, beginning with ‘a’, on each page. They have been numerically resequenced for uniqueness and moved to follow the Book in which they are referenced.
Marginal Notes.
All marginal notes will appear prior to the paragraph they annotated as, prefixed with ‘Sidenote:’
The table of contents includes references in Book III to sections printed in the text as marginal notes. Each has been linked, including those that have no explicit page number, appearing as ‘——’, which serves as a ditto.
The Index serves for both Volume I and II. References to Volume I are underlined, and will open a separate browser. Your e-reader may not follow those links.
There was an Errata included in the text. The corrections listed there were made.
Minor errors, attributable to the printer, have been corrected. Please see the transcriber’s [note] at the end of this text for details regarding the handling of any textual issues encountered during its preparation.
The cover image was created by superimposing title page information on the original (and otherwise empty) cover.
