This text has been generated using commercial OCR software, and there are still many problems; it is slowly getting better over time. The text was scanned and OCRd several times, and a majority version of each line of text was chosen. Please don't reuse the content (e.g. do not post to wikipedia) without asking liam at fromoldbooks dot org first (mention the colour of your socks in the subject line of the mail), because I am still working on fixing errors. Thanks!
