M.," which are supposed to mean, Levinus Nicolaus Moltkius (or Moltkenius) Eques Misniensis (or Mecklenbergensis, or Megalapolitanus);-2, 3, 4. the Prefaces of the Translator, the Author, and the Paris Editor;5. the Latin text, with Annotations at the end of each section ;-6. the Anacephalæosis," &c. ;—7. a lengthy "Index Rerum quæ in Annotatis continentur ;”—and 8. a list of Errata on the last page.
