Transcriber's notes:
(1) Numbers following letters (without space) like C2 were originally printed in subscript. Letter subscripts are preceded by an underscore, like C_n.
(2) Characters following a carat (^) were printed in superscript.
(3) Side-notes were relocated to function as titles of their respective paragraphs.
(4) Macrons and breves above letters and dots below letters were not inserted.
(5) Small and capital EZH letters are subtituted with [gh] and [Gh] respectively. Thorn is subtituted with th or Th, and eth is subtituted with dh.
(6) [root] stands for the root symbol; [alpha], [beta], etc. for greek letters.
