[Transcriber’s notes: Italic text is rendered with _underscores_, and small-cap text (when used as emphasis) with +plus signs+. Multi-line headings have been consolidated to one line with a bullet character separating their components. These headings represent one level in the book's organization: a Volume, Book, Part, Chapter, or section. All-capitalized headings in the original have been changed to title case and moved to the left margin. Volume information in [square brackets] has been added to the headings of the tables of contents and indices to clarify document structure in this large work. "Book" headings were printed twice, first on interior title pages, then on the next page; one of each has been removed as redundant.]
