Transcriber's notes:
(1) Numbers following letters (without space) like C2 were originally
printed in subscript. Letter subscripts are preceded by an
underscore, like C_n.
(2) Characters following a carat (^) were printed in superscript.
(3) Side-notes were relocated to function as titles of their respective
paragraphs.
(4) Macrons and breves above letters and dots below letters were not
inserted.
(5) The following typographical errors have been corrected:
Article CARTESIANISM: "Admitting that intelligence is under a law
of necessity, he claimed for the Will a certain latitude or liberty
of indifference ..." 'Admitting' amended from 'Admiting'.
Article CASTE: "The great Sanskrit scholar, Rudolf von Roth
(1821-1895), in his Brahma und die Brahmanan[13] held that the
Vedic people advanced from their home in the Punjab ..."
'Sanskrit' amended from 'Sanscrit'.
