This e-text includes characters that will only display in UTF-8 (Unicode) file encoding, including “curly quotes” and the œ ligature. If any of these characters do not display properly, you may have an incompatible browser or unavailable fonts. First, make sure that the browser’s “character set” or “file encoding” is set to Unicode (UTF-8). You may also need to change your browser’s default font.
A few minor typographical errors have been silently corrected. Some inconsistent hyphenation has been retained.
