Hyphenated words WITHIN CHAPTERS were standardized, but not across
chapter lines.
The author’s italics were left as printed even when inconsistent.
Pages 29 and 30: The last 6 paragraphs were moved to align with the
left margin to conform with the author’s format of other chapters.

publication except as follows:

of h s acts,” to “Take account of his acts,”
