[This text is intended for users whose text readers cannot use the
"real" (Unicode/UTF-8) version of the file or even the simplified
Latin-1 version. All fractions have been unpacked:

1/2 1/4 1-1/2
1/3 2/3 1-1/3
1/8 3/8 ...

German umlauts are similarly shown as "ue", "oe". Accents and cedillas
in French words are missing; the Errata list includes descriptions of
any accents, where relevant.

Variant spellings are in the original. Most errors and inconsistencies
were left unchanged; details are given at the end of the e-text.

Except for the title-page quotation, the word "art" ("Italian art",
"Vienna art") appears to be the German _Art_ (way, manner, style).
_Caution:_ Do not attempt to convert modern salted butter into
unsalted butter by washing it. It will not work.

The Contents were printed at the end of the book. The Alphabetical Index
was added by the transcriber.]
