Transcriber's Notes: Obvious printer errors have been corrected without note; obsolete and inconsistent spelling, punctuation, hyphenation, and capitalization have been preserved as they appear in the original. Errors that appear in the original Errata list are linked to that list. Less obvious errors are marked with red dotted underlining; hover your mouse over the text to see a Transcriber's Note. These errors are also listed in a Transcriber's Errata List at the end of this e-book.

A table of contents has been added for the reader's convenience.

This e-book was created from a presentation copy from the printers to John Adams, now in the John Adams Library at the Boston Public Library, and available in digitized form at the Internet Archive.
