This text uses some Unicode characters that are not supported by all
fonts and may not display correctly, for example ꝫ.
Superscripted text is indicated ^{like this}, italicised text _like
this_, upright text within italic passages ~like this~.
Most ‘figure’ illustrations have been moved from their position in the
