Volume 1
NOTE: the concept of a table of contents in a document
stored and displayed using HTML conventions is not one that makes
much sense.
The document is displayed as a whole, approximately 25
lines at a time.
Each of the 2 volumes is divided into a number of
smaller parts for handling convenience.
There is some overlap
intentionally left in to help match where the text of one ends and
another part begins. There are no pages as such.
The pagination shown is that of a printed copy of this information.
It is presented here as a guide to the contents of the document,
as a guide to the relative position of the major parts of the document to
one another and as a listing of the major elements of the document.
If the wording in the headings seems to vary, that is the way it
varies in the text.
This index does not support any accent marks or tildes.
It should be noted that the HTML versions of the documents provided here
have retained the same line lengths as the originals.
