¹ I do realize that, considering its size, it would be more appropriate to refer to this document as a book or a treatise. However, when I started writing it I had not anticipated it would be so long and, therefore, was using the word “document” to refer to it; later, when its scope became much larger, I did not take the time to make revisions to replace this term with some other.
