Several images of documents are included. Transcriptions of these texts appear in the end notes as well and are linked from each caption as "See Transcription".

This text included two volumes, with separate tables of content and pagination. Both tables refer to the original pagination. Each entry will direct the reader to the relevant page in each Volume.Clicking on these highlighted texts will direct the reader back to the associated page of the Table of Contents. The topics were nearly all printed as marginal “sidenotes”. Depending on your reading device, you may see these topics as right-justified blocks or as highlighted phrases in line with the text.
