Transcriber's notes:
(1) Numbers following letters (without space) like C2 were originally
printed in subscript. Letter subscripts are preceded by an
underscore, like C_n.
(2) Characters following a carat (^) were printed in superscript.
(3) Side-notes were relocated to function as titles of their respective
paragraphs.
(4) Macrons and breves above letters and dots below letters were not
inserted.
(5) [root] stands for the root symbol; [oo] for infinity; [alpha],
[beta], etc. for greek letters.
(6) The following typographical errors have been corrected:

Escenas andaluzas (1847), is in a curiously affected style ..."
