● Transcriber’s Notes: ○ Some text was illegible in the scan used to produce this book. It was replaced by the correct text from another source. ○ 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 were intended to be a superscript, as in S^t Bartholomew or 10^{th} Century.
