TRANSCRIBER'S NOTE
Italic text is denoted by _underscores_.
Superscripts are denoted by ^ eg xvj^o.
Obvious typographical errors and punctuation errors have been
corrected after careful comparison with other occurrences within
the text and consultation of external sources.
Modern practice in Italian texts contracts (removes the space from)
vowel elisions, for example l'anno not l' anno, ch'io not ch' io.
This book, in common with some similar English books of the time, has
a space in these elisions in the original text. This space has been
retained in the etext. The only exceptions, in both the text and
etext, are in French names and phrases, such as d'Aquino and d'Anjou.
Except for those changes noted below, misspelling by the author,
and inconsistent or archaic usage, has been retained. For example,
well known, well-known; Africo, Affrico.
