Redactor's Note: This version of Burckhardt is from the 2nd edition.
Many later editions were issued, but this is the last with Burckhardt's
own input. Burckhardt received nothing for his labors for this book,
and so it is fitting that it is returned to the public domain.
Italics are preserved and are bracketed by underscores (_).
