Transcriber’s Note This e-text uses a lot of uncommon Unicode characters, for example ℔ (U+2114 L B BAR SYMBOL), ꝥ (U+A765 LATIN SMALL LETTER THORN WITH STROKE), ♈ (U+2648 ARIES). If these (and others) don’t display for you, you may need to install additional fonts on your device. In particular, a Fraktur/‘black letter’ font (such as Old English Text MT) is recommended for the parts of the book dealing with German typography. Page numbering replicates that in the original: pp. i-xiv in Roman, followed by page 9 sqq. in Arabic numerals. No pages are missing or duplicated. Further notes appear at the end.
