Notes on  Reproduction and Text Layout:  

This text has been scanned from the revised second edition published in 1921 (the first edition appeared in 1896). Page numbers from the original print edition appear here in green.  In the original book, running comments are placed in the margins. The web version of this text is formatted to emulate this layout. For proper display of the layout, your web browser should support cascading style sheets -- almost all browsers release since 2001 support this standard feature.
