THE PURPOSE OF THE FOOTNOTES

Having always considered footnotes an objectionable feature, I have
resorted to them solely for reference purposes. Therefore, the reader
who does not wish to look up my authorities need not take the slightest
notice of the references to the footnotes, which in no case contain
additional facts, but merely indications of the sources of information.
