[Transcriber's Note:

This text is intended for users whose text readers can use neither the
"real" (unicode/utf-8) version of the file nor the simplified Latin-1
version. A few characters have been "unpacked" and shown in brackets,
such as [++] (double dagger) and a single letter eth [dh]. Other
letters have been either "unpacked" (oe, ae) or reduced to their simple
(unaccented) forms. Note in particular that final -e or -es was printed
with an umlaut/dieresis when it was meant to be pronounced (called
"sounded e" in the editor's introduction).

The printed text used small capitals for emphasis. These have been
replaced with +marks+ where appropriate. Missing lines were shown
by rows of widely spaced dots (single lines) or asterisks (longer
sections). They are shown here in groups of three:

... ... ...
or
*** *** ***

All brackets are in the original, except footnotes and similar material,
and the "unpacked" symbols noted above. Errors are listed at the end of
the e-text.]
