W. A. (William Alexander) McDevitte translation
[Transcriber's Note:
Typographical errors in the original have been corrected and noted using the notation ** .
Macrons, breves, umlauts etc have been removed from the body of the text since they were very obtrusive and made reading difficult. However, they are retained in the Index for reference.
The convention used for these marks is: Macron (straight line over letter) [=x] Umlaut (2 dots over letter) [:x] Grave accent [`x] Acute accent ['x] Circumflex [^x] Breve (u-shaped symbol over letter) [)x] Cedilla [,x] ]
