al pagination or of numbering and cross reference of pages.
However, as the product is machine readable, search is easier than
working from an index, and I tried to support the use of such
facilities. Anyone who feels strongly that an index remains necessary,
is welcome to add an index to the version that I have presented here,
without crediting me for the body of the work.

* I have however, substituted cross-reference between sections or
chapters for the (now meaningless) cross-references between pages.
Also, like many books of that day, the original had many page headings
such as "MYTHICAL ETYMOLOGIES" or "HILL AND DALE", without
incorporating them in the table of contents or the text, or even
making it clear just where those page headings fitted into the text.
I have changed such page headings to sub-headings within the text,
where they are more useful, given that they no longer are necessary
for the original purpose of aiding the process of flipping through the
pages of a paper book.

* I have relocated footnotes from the feet of the pages to just after
the text that they qualified. Apart from thereby rendering the text
less dependent of changes of format, this arguably renders the
footnotes more useful and less disruptive to the reader. Footnotes
are marked as such, so as to avoid confusion.

* I have of course tried to produce as clean a product as possible,
but I apologetically assure you that some errors remain in the text.
You accordingly must treat the content with appropriate caution.
