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) dP stands for the partial-derivative symbol, or curled 'd'.
(6) [oo] stands for the infinity symbol, and [int] for the integral
symbol.
(7) Letters followed with a grave accent "`" have originally dots above.
(8) The following typographical errors have been corrected:
ARTICLE DYER, JOHN: "His poems were collected by Dodsley in 1770,
and by Mr Edward Thomas in 1903 for the Welsh Library, vol. iv."
'poems' amended from 'peoms'.
ARTICLE EAR: "The membranous semicircular canals are very much
smaller in section than the bony; in the ampulla of each is a
ridge..." 'the' amended from 'tbe'.
ARTICLE EARTH, FIGURE OF THE: "O. Callandreau, 'Memoire sur la
theorie de la figure des planetes,' Ann. obs. de Paris (1889);..."
'Callandreau' amended from 'Callendreau'.
ARTICLE EATON, THEOPHILUS: "In October 1639 a form of government
was adopted, based on the Mosaic Law, and Eaton was elected
governor..." 'Mosaic' amended from 'Mosiac'.
ARTICLE ECCLESIASTES: "A particular instance is mentioned (ix.
13-15) of a beleaguered city saved by a wise man; but the man
happened to be poor, and no one remembered him." 'beleaguered'
amended from 'beleagured'.
ARTICLE ECCLESIASTES: "Such assertions as those of ii. 26 (God
gives joy to him who pleases him, and makes the sinner toil to lay
up for the latter),..." 'and' amended from 'amd'.
ARTICLE ECCLESIASTES: "This disagreement comes largely from the
attempts made to find definitely expressed Greek philosophical
dogmas in the book; such formulas it has not, but the general air
of Greek reflection seems unmistakable. The scepticism of Koheleth
differs from that of Job in quality and scope..." 'the' originally
repeated twice.
ARTICLE ECCLESIASTICAL JURISDICTION: "In the first case, they may
be punished by the ordinary of the place, acting as delegate of the
pope without special appointment (Conc. Trid. Sess. vi. c. 3)."
