- In most respects this text is identical to that in the original University of Illinois Press edition. 

- Where I have found typographical errors in the text of the book, I have corrected these and indicated the original language in brackets. 

- The two figures are located in separate files, with links from the text when they are useful.  While this may not be the handiest arrangement, the reader can fairly easily move back and forth between text and figures by using "Back" or the links provided. 

- The index has become merely a list.  The reader may use "Find" in the browser to locate specific references. 

- If you have corrections or other suggestions, please feel free to contact: theller@coe.edu.
