Note to Moderator:

Adjustment to page count of 408, which uses both Roman and Arabic numerals in the same total. (Does that mean the 'Pages' box above should just show the figure '408', or is there a way to reflect the mixed usage?.) Also note on add. essay in introduction/preface section, or should that be included in Content?
