Transcriber's Note: Other than the minor corrections and changes listed
at the end of this text, all spelling and punctuation is as it appeared
in the original. Musical notations appearing in the original book have
been replaced with [music]. Macrons and breves were used as
pronunciation aids for vowels. They appear here as [=a] for macrons and
[)a] for breves. The placement of footnote markers was irregular in the
original--this has been retained.
