Editor's Note

This book was printed with both footnotes and margin notes. The footnotes
are indicated here by letters (as in the original) and converted to endnotes.
Margin notes are indicated by numbers (assigned consecutively through the
file, unlike the original) and appear here as another set of endnotes. Notes in
brackets within footnotes, e.g. [p. 234 O.T.], are references to the Oxford
Translations.—NR.
