    • Notes: Originally published in 1931.The book, despite the date of publication, is printed in Roman script. This copy appears to have been issued originally as the 4th edition of September 1933, but a note glued to the title page states that it is the 5th edition of 1936. A brief new foreword has also been glued below the foreword to the 4th edition. However, these glued slips do not appear to be covering anything up.
