The first footnote in each chapter of the book is numbered 1. I follow the original numeration for the footnotes, but the screen version places all footnotes at the end of its on-line file.

Numbers in square braces, e.g. [102], mark the original pagination. I place these page numbers after the last complete word on the numbered page.
