Transcriber’s notes:

In this transcription a black dotted underline indicates a hyperlink to a page, illustration or footnote; hyperlinks are also marked by aqua highlighting when the mouse pointer hovers over them. A red dashed underline indicates the presence of a hidden comment that can be revealed by hovering the mouse pointer over the underlined text. Page numbers are shown in the right margin.

The text contains some uncommon characters that will not necessarily display correctly with all viewing devices. If some of the characters look abnormal, first ensure that the device’s character encoding is set to Unicode (UTF-8). The default font might also need to be changed to a Unicode font such as Arial Unicode MS, DejaVu, Segoe UI Symbol or FreeSerif. Symbols representing male and female have been replaced by M and F in the handheld version. Subscripted and superscripted characters do not always display correctly on handheld devices.

The book contained innumerable typographical errors affecting spelling, punctuation and formatting. Most spelling errors have been corrected silently, but spelling variants that mainly reflect contemporary spellings in the original quoted sources, have been left unchanged. A list of the corrections and variations can be seen at the end of the transcription. Punctuation anomalies (errors, omissions, duplications) have mostly been corrected silently, but missing apostrophes have not been corrected because of uncertainty about intended meaning. A few missing quotation marks have been inserted within curly brackets {"} and missing words inserted by the transcriber, e.g. {sic} {and} have also been enclosed within curly brackets to differentiate them from the numerous words and phrases inserted by the authors. Redundant duplicated words have been deleted. Astute readers will probably note persisting inconsistencies involving italics, fonts, hyphenation, ellipses, accents, and ligatures (ae/Æ, oe/oe) that have been left unchanged because they have no impact on interpretation of the text. The Table of Contents does not correspond accurately with headings used in the text.

Footnotes are located at the end of the book and are hyperlinked in the text. In most cases a return hyperlink will take the reader back to the appropriate place in the text, except for those footnotes that are cross-referenced multiple times. In these cases the return hyperlink will take the reader back to the location where the footnote was first referenced – it is better to make use of the browser's back-arrow to return to the correct location. An error in footnote numbering was corrected silently, and a missing footnote [120] was inserted after being identified in the original source.

Several large tables have been compressed in size to enable viewing on small screens and when necessary a key has been added to identify the column headings.
