  The author begs the indulgence of Latinate readers, who will find some Latin
  words kept in the nominative case when dative, genitive or other cases are in
  actual fact correct: and who will find family names (particularly in the first
  half of the book) Anglicized in the plural. This has been done in order to
  make reading less confusing for those without Latin.
