Introduction to Footnotes
The author is once again taking an unprecedented step in an attempt to assist the reader.
The following listing of the documentation utilized in this book is different from the majority of listings used by authors in the past.
First of all, I have not used the traditional words "op cit," and "ibid," to show references to a previously cited book.
I have also altered somewhat the lengthy reference information traditionally used by authors in the past. What I have done is to list the major works cited in this book first, with all of the information normally placed there. In addition, I have provided a brief introduction to the contents of the book, in an attempt to induce the reader to read the book themselves.
This list of books will also serve as a bibliography.
It is hoped that these changes will meet with the approval of those who read this book.
