Transcriber's Note:
There are some very wide tables in this work, either on
one page or across two pages. These have been broken
apart to fit within a 75 character width; they can all
be put back together, with some minor adjustments for
those sections that have information across multiple
columns.
Inconsistent spelling is maintained in this document.
