This volume is a scan of an 1872 printing. Its text comes from the scan's OCR layer and the printed marginal notes are omitted, so misread words may remain; please compare with the PDF where a passage looks wrong. Common OCR misreadings (such as “tlie” for “the”) were corrected against a dictionary and the book’s own vocabulary; wording and spelling of the original were not changed.
