Front matter
J. V. (Jedediah Vincent) Huntington translation
Transcriber’s Note:
Footnotes were moved to the end of each chapter. Words may have multiple spelling variations or inconsistent hyphenation in the text. These were not changed. Misspelled words, dialect, obsolete spellings and non-standard diacriticals in French were not corrected.
Manuscript page numbers are displayed withiin brackets, e.g. {36}. Obvious printing errors, such as duplicate words, upside down, missing or partially printed letters and punctuation, were corrected. Final stops missing at the end of sentences and abbreviations were added. Duplicate words at line endings or page breaks were removed.
