About the online edition.

This was scanned from the 1901 edition and mechanically checked against a commercial copy of the Republic from CDROM. Differences were corrected against the paper edition. The text itself is thus a highly accurate rendition.

This text is in the PUBLIC DOMAIN, released August 1993.
