Transcriber's Notes

The sidenotes April 1708 and June 1708 were printed at the beginning of each page of the chapter in the original. This duplication has been removed.

The corrections in the Errata list have been implemented, the first of which is on page 15, not 16.

Hyphenation has been standardised.

Obvious typographical errors have been silently corrected.

Other variations in spelling, punctuation and accents are as in the original.

Italics are represented thus _italic_.

The long s has been replaced throughout.
