If necessary, these same words were also corrected in the index.
Otherwise the original was preserved, including unusual, archaic or
inconsistent spelling and hyphenation. The index was not checked for
errors in alfabetisation or page numbers. The subtitle of Chapter III
was formatted different from the others in the original, this has not
been changed. Some of the lemma's in the index appear to be identical,
but they are probably meant to refer to different books with the same
title.
