Chapter I: Front Matter

TRANSCRIBER'S NOTES

In the plain text version Italic text is denoted by _underscores_. The sign ^ represents a superscript; thus ^e represents the lower case letter “e” written immediately above the level of the previous character, while ^{text} means the word “text” is written as surperscript.

This volume includes a subject index for this and for the previous two volumes of this collection. In the HTML version only the material covered in this volume was possible to link to the corresponding page numbers.

Obvious punctuation and other printing errors have been corrected.

The book cover has been modified by the Transcriber and is included in the public domain.
