GENERAL NOTE
In both the Latin and the English texts, angle brackets < >, square brackets [ ], and braces { } have the same meanings, namely, respectively, that angle brackets enclose omitted text, square brackets enclose changed text, and braces enclose added text. Note that in the Latin text the editor had to compare the 1745 edition with the 1742 edition, whereas in the English text he had to compare the 1747 English translation with the 1745 Latin edition. That means that a reader who wants to know if a passage in the English text was added to the 1745 second edition must look for braces at the corresponding passage on the Latin facing page. Braces in the English text mean only that the translator added text that is unsupported by the Latin. Where a whole chapter or section was added, the editor noted that fact in the footnote to the English text.
To save space, the footnotes to the English sometimes begin on the left-hand page; a short rule —————————— is used, when needed for clarity, to separate the footnotes to the English from the footnotes to the Latin.
