Transcriber’s Note:
This version of the text cannot represent certain typographical effects. Italics are delimited with the ‘_’ character as italic.
The few footnotes have been moved to follow the paragraphs in which they are referenced.
The many sections of this volume are presented in order of the month and day, regardless of the year, beginning with January 1.
The Contents lists the topics alphabetically, and refers to a date (month and day) rather than a page number. These descriptions do not necessarily exactly match the title of the sections verbatim, and the same section occasionally appears twice, with different descriptions. There is a more detailed index at the end of the volume, with page references.
