Arrangement

Handwriten notes found interspersed with the typescript have not been removed. This decision is based on the assumption that they appear to directly relate. Unnumbered typescript pages were not removed or individually listed if interspersed with numbered pages. Any breaks in pagination due to a page not being originally included is not listed. i.e. if there is a note on e.g. p.24 to go straight to p.26, p.25 is not recorded as missing. Redrafts of pages have been placed at the end of an item or in numerical order within an item depending on what would be the least confusing.

There may well be gaps in the typescript of the five sections but because of the nature of the material due to redrafts of pages and parts of sections the information is often in a different order from that published.

The words “Part/s” and “Section/s” are interchangeable. The word chosen is what has been transcribed from any folders, paper used etc to keep the various drafts together. This was done to help those using the material to discern the order in which the redrafts were done.

Pages labelled “miscellaneous” were unable to be identified and have been listed along with the material interspersed with.
