Notes:

"First Schocken Paperback edition 1971."

"This is the scond volume of a three-volume work ..."

The difficult choice of chapters from the hardcover edition was made by representatives of the respective publishers, Harper & Row and Schocken Books, necessarily on the basis of the material most needed by a mass audience.
