Several features of this book are unusual: it has two slightly different lists of contents which do not correspond precisely with the text, and there is a preface midway through the book; it has confusing page numbering (omitted from this transcription) which restarts in successive sections of the text using mixed arabic and roman numerals; the text displays an unusual mixture of italics, small capitals, full capitals, and variable letter spacing (some of which do not display correctly on handheld reading devices); much of the spelling is archaic, and both spelling and punctuation are inconsistent. Some obvious typesetting errors have been corrected ([see list]) but the spelling and punctuation otherwise remains true to the original text.
In this transcription a black dotted underline marks a hyperlink to a section of text or to a footnote (links are also highlighted when the mouse pointer hovers over them).
A title has been added to the original blank cover.
