Transcriber’s Note: Some of the kanji characters in this book appear to have no modern equivalent and a close but not identical character—a “best guess”—has been substituted. These are shown e.g. {蹄}. Illustrations of the characters are included.

The author’s list of emendations has not been addressed: it seems more useful to the reader left as it is.
