● Transcriber’s Notes:
○ There are several index entries that have no page reference
attached to them.
○ There is a missing footnote here.
○ These corrections have been made to this text when the target
could be unambiguously identified.
○ The heirarchy of the different divisions (Part, Section, Chapter)
is not clear. They have been marked up to (more or less) match
their text attributes in the book.
○ Missing or obscured punctuation was silently corrected.
○ Typographical errors were silently corrected.
○ Inconsistent spelling and hyphenation were made consistent only
when a predominant form was found in this book.
○ Text that:
was in italics is enclosed by underscores (_italics_).
○ The use of a caret (^) before a letter, or letters, shows that the
following letter or letters was intended to be a superscript, as
in S^t Bartholomew or 10^{th} Century.
