TRANSCRIBER’S NOTE
Reading edition
Several tables with more columns than rows were rotated 90° left so they would fit portrait format.
All items in the ERRATA were corrected in the text.
Silently corrected typographical errors and variations in spelling.
Retained anachronistic, non-standard, and uncertain spellings as printed.
Footnotes have been re-indexed using numbers and collected together at the end of the last chapter.
The cover image was created by the transcriber and is placed in the public domain.
