Every effort has been made to replicate this text as faithfully
as possible, including inconsistencies in spelling (for example
"Aroüet" / "Arouët"). Some obvious spelling and punctuation
errors were corrected, and some lines were added to the table
of contents. These corrections are listed at the end of the text.
Italic text is marked with _underscores_. Text in small capitals
is marked with ~tildes~.
