The ASCII text for this file, e1elwes.txt, was taken from ftp://ftp.archive.org/pub/gutenberg/etext/etext97/1spne10.txt, and (I believe) is from Benedict de Spinoza's "On the Improvement of the Understanding", "The Ethics" and "Correspondence" as published in Dover's ISBN 0-486-20250-X. 2. The text is that of the translation of "The Ethics" by R. H. M. Elwes. This text is "an unabridged and unaltered republication of the Bohn Library edition originally published by George Bell and Sons in 1883." 3. JBY added sentence numbers and search strings. 4. Sentence numbers are shown thus (yy:xx). yy = Proposition Number when given. xx = Sentence Number. 5. Search strings are enclosed in [square brackets]: a. Roman numeral, when given before a search string, indicates Part Number. If a different Part, bring up that Part and then search. b. Include square brackets in search string. c. Do not include Part Number in search string. d. Search Down with the same string to facilitate return. 6. Please report any errors in the text, search formatting, or sentence numbering to jyselman@erols.com. 7.
