Transcriber’s note:

The unique headers on the odd numbered pages in the original book have been reproduced as sidenotes. They have been inserted into the paragraph or letter to which the heading refers.

There are several inconsistencies in spelling and punctuation in the original. A few corrections have been made for obvious typographical errors; these, as well as some doubtful spellings of names, have been noted individually in the text.
