This text includes a few characters that require UTF-8 (Unicode) file encoding:

œ (“oe” ligature)
ĕ ĭ ŭ (vowel with breve or “short” sign)
ē (e with macron or “long” sign)
⅓ (1/3)

Except œ and ĭ, all are rare. The “cents” sign ¢ is used in place of the character ȼ for better font support.

If the apostrophes and quotation marks in this paragraph appear as garbage, you may have an incompatible browser or unavailable fonts. First, make sure that your browser’s “character set” or “file encoding” is set to Unicode (UTF-8). You may also need to change the default font.

Typographical errors are shown in the text with mouse-hover popups. The most common variant spellings are noted at the end of the e-text, along with some details of vocabulary. All brackets [ ] are in the original.
