Transcriber's notes:

(1) Numbers following letters (without space) like C2 were originally
      printed in subscript. Letter subscripts are preceded by an
      underscore, like C_n.

(2) Characters following a carat (^) were printed in superscript.

(3) Side-notes were relocated to function as titles of their respective
      paragraphs.

(4) Macrons and breves above letters and dots below letters were not
      inserted.

(5) [int] stands for the integral symbol; [alpha], [beta], etc. for
      greek letters and [oo] for infinity.

(6) The following typographical errors have been corrected:

      increasing importance." 'will' amended from 'wil'.

    ARTICLE FORSTER, JOHANN GEORG ADAM: "At Cassel Forster formed an
