Transcriber's Notes:

Simple spelling, grammar, and typographical errors were corrected.

Punctuation normalized.

Anachronistic and non-standard spellings retained as printed.

Simple division equations with numerators over denominators were reformatted as numerators/denominators. If multiple terms are involved then parenthesis were added, e.g. (numerator 1+numerator 2)/(denominator 1+denominator 2).
