[Transcriber's Note:

Headnotes are interlaced with the table of contents; they will also appear in their original locations in the text. On the t.i.tle page the name SEAGER was printed vertically, enclosed in a single box.

The verse lines described in the editor's note have been re-split for this e-text. Line numbers that were omitted or skipped have been regularized to multiples of 4, as in other selections. Large-print (original) sidenotes are shown with a smaller indentation; almost all are names or Biblical citations.]

[N.B. The even lines (2, 4, &c.) of the original are printed here opposite the odd ones (1, 3, &c.), instead of after them, to save s.p.a.ce.

The lines must therefore be read right across the page. The sidenotes in large type, 'Cato, Isocra, &c.,' are those of the original. The rest are the editor's, and he has added headlines, some stops, &c.]
