Transcriber's Note:

A macron (e. g. "ā") indicates a long vowel and a breve (e. g. "ă") indicates a short vowel.

Various notes and remarks of less importance to a beginner are set in smaller type: c. f. the last paragraph of the Preface to the First Edition.

There are minor inconsistencies beween the sections listed in the Table of Contents and those in the text itself.
