Transcriber's Note

Original spellings, punctuation, inconsistencies and all apparent

printers' errors are retained, with two exceptions:

In section 6, “hat” has been changed to “that”

(“...that there is room to dread...”).

In section 24, “endeavovour” has been changed to “endeavour”

(“If there be any pointed splinters, I endeavour to...”).

The heading for Section 36 is missing from this translation. In

Tissot's translation the missing Section 36 heading is at the top

of page 83, before the sentence: “In conformity to the plan I have

proposed...”.
