This book was printed in 1735 and this etext is a careful
reproduction of that original text. No spelling and very few
punctuation corrections have been made in order to preserve the
historical value of the original work.
All dates are Julian calendar dates; a new year begins on March 25th.
When a year is given for a date between January 1st and March 24th it
is shown in this etext as 1720/1 or 1721/2 or 1722/3.
The long-s ſ has been replaced by s throughout the etext.
Italic text is denoted by _underscores_.
A superscript is denoted by ^x or ^{xx}, for example D^o or N^o.
Footnote anchors are denoted by [number], and the footnotes have been
placed at the end of the book.
Basic fractions are displayed as ½ ⅓ ¼ etc; other fractions are shown
in the form a/b, for example 1/10 or 4/5.
All changes noted in the ERRATA on page 266 have been applied to the
etext.
The page numbering of the main text starts at 1, 2 then jumps to
19, 20, 21 etc. No pages are missing, it is a printing error by the
original publisher.
The tables in this book are best viewed using a monospace font.
A few minor changes to the text, mostly obvious compositor errors,
are noted at the end of the book.
