Obvious punctuation and spelling errors repaired. Original spelling and its variations were not harmonized.
Footnotes were moved to the ends of the chapters in which theybelonged and numbered in one continuous sequence. The pagination in index entries which referred to these footnotes was not changed to match their new locations and is therefore incorrect.
