[Transcriber's note: The accentuation and spelling of the original has been retained. This may at times seem variable: e.g., manati and manati. Greek transliterations appear between + signs. This symbol: [=o], which appears once to represent the letter o with a line above it. Italics are indicated by under-scores, as in this example: _NEW YORK:_. The illustrations are viewable in the XHTML version.]
