Accented Characters in Words:
To maintain an easily searchable text, accented or special characters
have been discarded. The following is a pretty complete list of the
words in the text which were originally accented. They appear more or
less in the order in which they first appeared with the accent--often
the accents were dropped in the original. In each case, the accent
follows the appropriate letter, the "ae" and "oe" combinations are
represented as (ae) and (oe), [\], [/], [~], [^] and [-] represent
the accent that looks like them which would appear above the preceding
letter. [=] represents an accent that looks like the bottom half of
a circle, also appearing above the letter, ["] is an umlaut, and [,]
represents a cedilla.
