Transcriber's note:

Page numbers in this book are indicated by numbers enclosed in
curly braces, e.g. {99}. They have been located where page
breaks occurred in the original book. For its Index, a page
number has been placed only at the start of that section.

In the original volumes in this set, each even-numbered page
had a header consisting of the page number, the volume title,
and the chapter number. The odd-numbered page header consisted
of the year with which the page deals, a subject phrase, and
the page number. In this set of e-books, the odd-page year
and subject phrase have been converted to sidenotes, usually
positioned between the first two paragraphs of the even-odd
page pair. If such positioning was not possible for a given
sidenote, it was positioned where it seemed most logical.

In the original book set, consisting of four volumes, the
master index was in Volume 4. In this set of e-books, the
index has been duplicated into each of the other volumes, with
its first page re-numbered as necessary, and an Index item
added to each volume's Table of Contents.
