Opening of the book

[Transcriber's Notes: These modifications are
intended to provide
continuity of the text for ease of searching and
reading.
1. To avoid breaks in the narrative, page
numbers (shown in curly
brackets "{1234}") are usually placed between
paragraphs. In this
case the page number is preceded and followed
by an empty line.
To remove page numbers use the Regular
Expression:
"^{[0-9]+}" to "" (empty string)
2. If a paragraph is exceptionally long, the
page number is
placed at the nearest sentence break on its
own line, but
without surrounding empty lines.
3. Blocks of unrelated text are moved to a
nearby break
between subjects.
5. Use of em dashes and other means of space
saving are replaced
with spaces and newlines.
6. Subjects are arranged thusly:
Main titles are at the left margin, in all
upper case
(as in the original) and are preceded by an
empty line.

Subtitles (if any) are indented three spaces
and
immediately follow the main title.
Text of the article (if any) follows the list
of subtitles (if
any) and is preceded with an empty line and
indented three
spaces.
References to other articles in this work are
in all upper
case (as in the original) and indented six
spaces. They
usually begin with "See", "Also" or "Also
in".
Citations of works outside this book are
indented six spaces
and in italics (as in the original). The
bibliography in
Volume 1, APPENDIX F on page xxi provides
additional details,
including URLs of available internet
versions.
----------Subject: Start--------
----------Subject: End----------
indicates the start/end of a group of
subheadings or other
large block.
To search for words separated by an unknown
number of other
characters, use this Regular Expression to
find the words
"first" and "second" separated by between 1

and 100 characters:
"first.{1,100}second"
