Transcriber Note

All obvious typographical errors were corrected. Where several variant

spellings were used, the most prevalent version was use to standardize

them. Although the printed version capitalized the first word in the

major sections, they are presented as first letter only capital. On

page 188, the odd fraction of 87 divided by 1 was left as printed. In

addition to obvious typographical corrections, the following were made:
