Transcriber’s Note:

This text uses some Unicode characters that are not supported by all fonts and may not display correctly, for example ꝫ.

Most ‘figure’ illustrations have been moved from their position in the original book: each figure is placed by the passage that describes it, for ease of reference. The figures are large and detailed, and hence displayed only as a thumbnail image inline; if your device supports it, thumbnail images with a blue border can be clicked to display a larger version.

A list of changes made to the original text (to correct suspected printing errors) is given at the end.
