On p. 157, the first syllable of ‘coöperating’ fell on the line break, and the word was hyphenated as ‘co-operating’, since the diaeresis was not needed. The word has been joined here and the diaeresis employed as ‘coöperating’.
The following words appear both with and without a hyphen: to-day, non-entity, half-way, inter-connected, non-entity. Errors deemed most likely to be the printer’s have been corrected, and are noted here. The references are to the page and line in the original. 20.10 restraining g[i/o]vernment.
