Notes

No copyright page found. No table-of-contents pages found.

Tight margins all around, throughout original document; some text loss on pages where text runs into binding and/or margins are too tight to capture all text, and where text runs off the top or outside edge of page.

Some text loss on leaf 95 due to a printing anomaly (near the top-inside corner of the page).
