Obvious typographical errors have been silently corrected.
Variations in spelling, punctuation and accents are as in the original.
Each page in the main body of the book has every 5th line numbered. The
notes section refers back to the main body by page and line number. In
order to preserve this association, the line numbers have been enclosed
in brackets and left in position. The first numbered line on each page
(5) is preceded by the page number i.e. (75: 5). These pages have not
been re-wrapped.
Italics are represented thus, _italic_ and bold thus, =bold=.
