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) [oo] stands for the infinity symbol.
(6) The following typographical errors have been corrected:
Article CATALONIA: "There is much woodland, but meadows and
pastures are rare." 'There' amended from 'These'.
Article CATALYSIS: "It seems in this, as in other cases, that
additional compounds are first formed which subsequently react with
the re-formation of the catalyst." 'additional' amended from
'addition'.
Article CAVALRY: "... and as this particular branch of the army was
almost exclusively commanded by the aristocracy it suffered most in
the early days of the Revolution." 'army' amended from 'arm'.
Article CECILIA, SAINT: "It was long supposed that she was a noble
lady of Rome 594 who, with her husband and other friends whom she
had converted, suffered martyrdom, c. 230, under the emperor
Alexander Severus." 'martyrdom' amended from 'martydom'.
Article CELT: "Two poets of this period, whom an English writer
describes as 'the two filthy Welshmen who first smoked publicly in
the streets,' ..." 'as' amended from 'a'.
