Opening of the book
Transcriber's Note: Inconsistent spelling and hyphenation in the original document have been preserved. Obvious typographical errors have been corrected. Footnote numbering, which in the original restarted at "1" with every chapter, has been prepended with the Roman chapter number (e. g. VI-7 for the 7th note of chapter 6). Footnotes to Part III are indicated with a prime (e. g. I'-7). Footnote III-37 was missing its anchor. Its location in the text was approximated. This book is the second of three volumes. Page numbering continues from Volume 1, available at http://www.gutenberg.org/etext/43774. Volume 3, at http://www.gutenberg.org/etext/43776, contains an Index and Maps. Links to the first and third volumes are designed to work when the book is read on line.
