Transcriber’s Notes

Inconsistent punctuation, hyphenation, and spelling were not changed.

Simple typographical errors were corrected; unbalanced quotation marks were remedied when the change was obvious, and otherwise left unbalanced.

The index was not checked for proper alphabetization or correct page references. Index references to footnotes link to the pages containing the footnote anchors, not to the footnotes themselves.

Some page links in the Footnotes may be erroneous, as they actually reference other books.
