As a result of the immersion, the
text on
a few pages has faded over the years, specifically portions of
pages lvi, 150, 153, 154, 194, 229, 255, and 309. Even these are
readable with only minor difficulty.
To illustrate the typical damage, the
following is an un-touched reproduction of the original titlepage to
this volume.
