Transcriber’s Note

On p. 395, the second footnote has no anchor in the text. It is
presumed to have been intended to follow the closing paragraph.

The use of quotation marks is sometimes ambiguous, where opening
or closing marks are missing. These have been rectified, where the
voice or context clearly indicates the correct reading.

Errors deemed most likely to be the printer’s have been corrected,
and are noted here. Since a large portion of the text is quoted
material, consideration was given to any apparent idiosyncrasies.
The references are to the page and line in the original. Those
references prefixed with ‘i’ refer to the page, column and line in
the Index.
