Transcriber’s Note

This e-text uses a lot of uncommon Unicode characters, for example ℔

(U+2114 L B BAR SYMBOL), ꝥ (U+A765 LATIN SMALL LETTER THORN WITH STROKE),

♈ (U+2648 ARIES). If these (and others) don’t display for you, you may

need to install additional fonts on your device.

Text printed in Fraktur (‘black letter’) type, or otherwise different

from the norm, appears ~like this~, italicised or underlined text _like

this_, bold text =like this=.

Further notes appear at the end.
