Transcriber’s Notes
Punctuation, hyphenation, and spelling were made consistent when a
predominant preference was found in this book; otherwise they were not
changed.
Simple typographical errors were corrected; occasional unbalanced
quotation marks retained.
Index not checked for proper alphabetization or correct page references.
Page 3: “villany” was printed that way.
Page 43: “romancists” was printed that way; may be a misprint for
“romanticists”.
Page 78: “are current Paracelsus” was printed that way; perhaps a
question mark should have been used after “current”.
