[Transcriber’s Note:
This text uses a few characters that will only display correctly in
UTF-8 encoding:
ă ĕ ĭ Ĭ (letter with breve or “short vowel“ sign)
ŋ (“eng” symbol)
Ä¡ (g with superscript dot)
The capitalized form of ¢ would not display reliably, so the lower-case
¢ has been used throughout.]
