The original book was very badly proofread and was filled with errors,
inconsistent accents, improper punctuation, etc. Also the typesetters
were unable to properly accent the book. As an example, the letter a is
represented as A when capitalized. The author probably wanted to use a
macron instead of a circumflex or an accent to indicate a long syllable
and was forced to settle for this mixture of circumflexes and accents
instead. This etext will use the circumflex throughout and will attempt
to accent words as consistently as possible.
In the original book some family tree tables were turned sideways. For
reading as an e-book, these trees have been modified to read left to
right rather than top-down. All family trees have been done as ASCII
art. I have included the original page images containing the family
trees as well.
The family tree tables in the book put female names in italics, but not
consistently. Where possible I have followed this practice in the ASCII
art version, but in many cases I have omitted the italics because it
would throw off the alignment of the trees in the text version of the
book. When in doubt consult the page images in the HTML version.
