[Transcriber's Notes:
The first part of this volume (September 1879) was produced as Project
Gutenberg Ebook #30048. The relevant part of the table of contents has
been extracted from that document, and a brief title page added.
_Italic words_ have been enclosed in underscores. Greek letters have
been transliterated and enclosed in equals signs, e.g. =psychê=.
As the oe ligature cannot be included in this format, it has been
replaced with the separate letters, e.g. "Phoenician". Also note that on
page 247, the original text shows a breve above the letter "e" in the
Persian word for desert, "meru".
A few minor typographical errors have been silently corrected. Some
inconsistent hyphenation and accents have been retained.]
