Transcriber's Notes:
Simple spelling, grammar, and typographical errors were
corrected.
Punctuation normalized.
Anachronistic and non-standard spellings retained as printed
except as noted below.
The author's usage of accents was inconsistent. Specifically
accented "ée" is far more prevalent than "ee" even for the same
word. Changed all instances of "ee" to "ée"
Italics markup is enclosed in _underscores_.
P. 341 footnote is actually "Sée pag." in the original. As it
doesn't appear cutoff this must have been a typo by omission.
