TRANSCRIBER'S NOTE:

Among the several challenging issues with this two
volume set were:
1. The duplication of the last eight chapters of Volume
I. inserted at the beginning of Volume II.; and there given
chapter numbers starting with Chapter I".
2. That the index in Volume I did not include any
references to the last eight chapters. The index
references to these duplicated chapters were however
include in Volume II.
3. Spelling of many words and names in both volumes
was inventive and variable from one paragraph to
another. In proofing this file I began to believe the printer
was short of "e's c's and o's" and began to substitute one
for the others. I am sure I missed many of these.
4. The grammar used was often unacceptable today.
5. Nearly every page had long footnotes in extremely
small print. Some of the footnotes referred to other
footnotes. Many of the longer footnotes and footnotes to
footnotes were placed at the bottom of succeeding
pages, making the organization of these to the bottom of
the page referring to them was challenging.
6. The extremely small and blurred print was often
beyond the ability of the best Optical Character
Recognition program available.
