Transcriber's Notes:

The original text has not been modified, except that some minor typographical errors have been corrected silently.

Lettered footnotes (with anchors [A], [B], etc.), explaining the text, have been moved to directly below the paragraph or table they refer to. Numbered footnotes ([1], [2], etc.) refer to references, that are listed towards the end of the text.

Where a single footnote is referenced more than once, the backwards link to the anchor has not been implemented.
