Transcriber’s Notes


Punctuation and spelling were made consistent when a predominant
preference was found in the original book; otherwise they were not
changed.

Inconsistent hyphenation was not changed.

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

The Table of Contents was added by the Transcriber.

The index was not checked for proper alphabetization or correct page
references. Roman numeral references are to chapters, not to pages.

Page 106: =T= indicates a boldface, sans-serif “T”.
