The system of footnotes is somewhat complicated. Notes on the main text
are lettered ‘a’ to ‘z’ (skipping ‘j’ and ‘v’), and repeat that pattern
from page to page, beginning anew on each section. These attributive
notes nearly always serve simply to designate sources. There are 78
longer explanatory notes which are lettered with uppercase characters,
always beginning with ‘A’ and only proceeding to ‘B’, etc., if they
appear on the same page. These notes are themselves annotated with
internally numbered subnotes.
[a] The lower-case lettered footnotes, used to refer to sources,
have been moved to the end of each article, and have been
resequenced for uniqueness.
[A] The uppercase lettered footnotes, used for supplementary
comments, have been moved, when necessary, to follow the
paragraph where they are referenced. A number of those
notes had numbered footnotes of their own. These have been
kept with the note itself. The supplementary notes have
been resequenced as well, and prefixed with an ‘N’.
(1) The numbered subnotes have been renumbered sequentially
within the note, including the note’s designation. For
example ‘N47.1’ is the first subnote for the N47
supplemental note.
The word ‘acknowledge’ appears most regularly as ‘acknowlege’, but the
two instances of the more modern spelling are retained.
On p. 66, the anchor for footnote 429 (‘o’ in the original) is missing.
It has been placed based upon its appearance in other editions.
An italic font was used to denote emphasized terms, proper names,
non-English words and phrases, Latin abbreviations, as well as the text
of quotations and sidenotes. Within quoted (and italicized) text, proper
names are given in the default font.
Spelling and punctuation has been retained, with only a few exceptions.
Those errors deemed most likely to be the printer’s have been corrected,
and are noted here. The references are to the page and line in the
original. Errors within footnotes include the page that the note appears
on in the original, the original footnote designation, and the line
within the note.
