[Transcriber's Note: Portions of this text are written in an archaic
manner in which macrons over single or double letters stand in place
for an abbreviation. This has been represented in the text version
by enclosing the letter in square brackets and preceeding the letter
(or letters) with a tilde character. There are also copious single
and multiple superscripted abbreviations represented in the text version
by enclosing the superscripted characters with curly braces, preceded
by a caret.]
