  • Text enclosed by pluses is in small caps (+small caps+).
  • Obvious typographical errors have been silently corrected.
  • Archaic language and spelling is left as-is, except “AERIAL” was
    printed with dots above the ‘A’ and ‘E’, this was assumed to be a
    typesetter's limitation and replaced with “AËRIAL", to match the
    lower case usage.
  • Errata have been applied, as much as I understood them.
  • Numbers for sections 259–261 are repeated.
