[1] There's a disjunction between the pagination and the page count. The table of contents anticipates a seamless transition between the last page of the table of contents (v), the first page of the "Historical Sketch" which it lists as beginning on page 6, and a one-page introduction which it lists as beginning and ending on page 8.
