Transcriber's Notes:

Previous

Punctuation has been standardised.

Em-dash added before all attribution names for consistency.

Mis-alphabetized entries in the Index have been corrected

Several references in the Index refer to wrong quote blocks. The reference number has been left unchanged, but italicized. If the correct block could be easily identified, the link has been updated to the correct block. If the reference refers to a non-existing block, it is not linked. Only bold author links were checked, all others were left as presented.
