Simple typographical errors were corrected; unbalanced quotation marks were remedied when the change was obvious, and otherwise left unbalanced.

Footnotes, originally at the bottoms of pages, have been collected, renumbered, and placed near the end of this eBook.

In that nine-volume “History”, this is Volume VII.
