Notes on the text

The full text of the report (including the Appendices) is online.

Every web page includes chapter links (as in the left hand column on this page) and there are links to the next and previous chapters at the bottom of each page.

The report contains both footnotes and references. The former are indicated by asterisks in the text. Since there aren't pages as such in this web version, I have inserted these after the paragraphs to which they refer. The latter, which are numbered, have been collected together and presented at the end of each chapter.

Anything I've added by way of explanation is shown [in square brackets].

I have proof-read and spell-checked the text. I've corrected a dozen or so misprints and updated the spelling of a handful of words (for example, 'update' rather than up-date'). If you spot any errors I'd be grateful if you'd email me.

Other than the above, what you see here is what appeared in the original print version of the report.
