FACSIMILE REPRODUCTION NOTES:
This document is an attempt at a faithful transcription of the
original document. Special effort has been made to ensure that
original spelling, including misspellings, line-breaks, and
vocabulary are left intact, and when possible, similar fonts have
been used. However, it contains original formatting and image
scans. All rights are reserved except those specifically granted
herein.
A note on the original text:
The original text made heavy use of several conventions in font
and typesetting which were standard for the period but which are
difficult to read and somewhat clunky for modern readers. First,
the text used what is sometimes called the “Long S.” This is a
character “s” which appears very similar to a modern “f” with
the exception that the cross either does not exist or does not cross
wholly through the staff of the character, rather it appears to
make a “flag” to the left of the staff of the character. I.E.: ſ or
ſ
Further, the text made frequent use of “ligatures” connecting one
character to the following. Connecting “c” to “t” and “long s” to
“t” was common in the text. I.E.:
ſt
ſt
Thus “strict” could be
rendered “
ſt
ri
”
and “sufficient” could be rendered “ſufficient”.
For readability the long s’s have been transcribed with the
modern “s,” unfamiliar glyphs, and ligatures have been removed.
Apart from these concessions, every reasonable attempt has been
made to produce a faithful rendering of the original text. The
page size, spelling, hyphenation, and formatting, including
intentional blank pages, have been maintained. The hope is that
this will create a document which will convey the personality
