Transcriber's Note
Illustrations have been moved near the relevant section of the text.
I have used "=" in the text to denote use of an ornamental font.
Inconsistencies have been retained in hyphenation, punctuation,
spacing between initials, spacing between alphabetic sections in
lists, italicization and capitalization except where indicated in
the list below. Alphabetization of list items has been left as-is
as has double punctuation such as ".:". The author has stated that
this book "has many imperfections" due to the speed in which it was
prepared in order to meet the publisher's timeline. It is clear that
some sections of the text were more carefully edited than others
prior to publishing. Consequently, I have made (and notated)
typographical corrections only for sections in which the majority of
the text adheres to a general standard of hyphenation, punctuation,
etc.
Within Footnote "M," there is a picture of a pointing hand within the
text. Instead of the hand symbol, I used "==>".
Here is a list of the minor typographical corrections made:
