Transcriber’s Notes:Thefootnoteshave been gathered together and inserted at the end of the text.On page 115 the word “comon” and on page 187, the word “comands” appeared with a tilde (˜)over the letter “m”. This probably was a contraction of “mm” and it was replaced by those letters.Many inconsistencies in dating were left as they appeared on the printed page.Missing or obscured punctuation was silently corrected.Typographical errors were silently corrected.Inconsistent spelling and hyphenation were made consistent only when a predominant form was found in this book.
