The text was from Wikisource and was checked against the Bartleby version.

This book was formatted with the Sony Reader in mind. Eliot’s indented quotations have been reproduced by tweaking the epigraph menu to remove the italics etc. The Greek quotations have been inserted as pictures. Footnotes have been renumbered consecutively and linked.

Unfortunately, the non-Sony versions will not look so good, but will (I hope) be passable.
