Punctuation, hyphenation, and spelling were made consistent when a predominant preference was found in the original book; otherwise they were not changed. The apparent hierarchy in the Table of Contents (capitalization and what is included in that Table) is not the same as the apparent hierarchy of the rest of the book (centered headings, boldface sections, and small-cap sub-sections). This discrepancy has been retained in this eBook.
