Transcriber's Note
The title page consists of an image, which has been transcribed.
This version of the text cannot represent certain typographical effects. Italics are delimited with the '_' character as italic. There are instances of vowels modified by macrons. These are given as, e.g., [=e], [=u], etc. Symbols in the form of bold figures are printed as =T=, =V=, =Y=, etc. There is one instance of an inverted T, which is represented as [=invertedT=]. The 'oe' ligature is given as separate characters, that is, 'OE' or 'oe'.
For consistency, fractions are usually represented, for example, as 2-1/2 for 2½. In tabular data, the available Latin-1 fractions ¼, ½, ¾ were used on occasion to minimize width. Superscripted characters are indicated using the carat '^'.
The few footnotes have been positioned following the paragraph where their references appeared.
There are many sidenotes, or paragraph descriptions, which are sometimes used as keywords for cross-reference. Those which seem to describe the entire paragraph, or its first topic are given as {Sidenote} in a separate line at the top of the paragraph. Other notes, which are usually brief, are placed in-line in the text, again enclosed in brackets as above.
Please see the notes at the end of this text for a more detailed list of specific issues encountered and the resolutions of each.
