* The anchor placements in the main text for footnotes [219], [247] and [777] are conjectured. No anchors were found in the printed original.
* Two anchors were found for footnote [160], both in p. 125; only one has been retained.
* In p. 302, end of paragraph, the adjective “best” has been added to obtain the more usual reading: “the best condition”.
