Large curly brackets that graphically indicate combination of
information on two or more lines of text have been removed. The text
was modified, if necessary, to retain the original meaning. In most
cases, as on page 8, this was trivial. However, the task was not
trivial for the chart beginning at the bottom of page 11, so errors
of interpretation are not impossible. For reference, the original
image is shown below.

The original Table of Contents failed to connect reliably with the
text. The original has been severely overhauled, without further
comment here.
Precise horizontal spacing of words is essential in this book.
However, this has not been implemented in this simple text edition.
Page 12. The word ‹unsorbordinated› was changed to ‹unsubordinated›.
Page 15. During the process of producing an ebook, headings are coded
in HTML as h1–h6 elements, with h1 representing the highest level in an
outline. A new h2 level heading, ‹ENTRY.›, was inserted on page 15. A
new h4 level heading, ‹CATALOGUE.›, was inserted after the existing h3
heading ‹I. AUTHOR-ENTRY.›.
Page 16. The existing h4 heading ‹AUTHORS.› was changed to ‹A. AUTHORS.›.
Page 17. The h5 level heading ‹1. PERSONAL.› was changed to ‹(a.)
PERSONAL.›. The h6 heading ‹_a. Under whom as author._› was changed
to ‹(i.) _Under whom as author._›. Subsequent entries in these lists
were enumerated similarly, e.g. on page 20 where ‹_b._› was changed to
‹(ii.)›.
Page 21. The phrase ‹Grässe’s ‘Lehrbuch› was changed to ‹Grässe’s
“Lehrbuch›.
Page 27. The phrase ‹Tilsley’s ‘Digest› was changed to ‹Tilsley’s
“Digest›.
Page 32. The phrase ‹the Christain name› was changed to ‹the Christian
name›.
Page 37. The word ‹vesssels› was changed to ‹vessels›.
Page 38. A new h4 heading was inserted: ‹CATALOGUE.›.
Page 45. The h3 heading ‹III. SUBJECTS.› was changed to ‹III.
SUBJECT-ENTRY.› A new h4 level heading ‹CATALOGUE.› was inserted before
the catalogue.
Page 46. The h5 level heading ‹A. ENTRIES CONSIDERED SEPARATELY.› was
changed to ‹(a.) ENTRIES CONSIDERED SEPARATELY.›, and the h5 level
heading on page 57 was changed similarly. The h6 level heading ‹1.
CHOICE BETWEEN DIFFERENT SUBJECTS.› was changed to ‹(i.) CHOICE BETWEEN
DIFFERENT SUBJECTS.›.
Page 51. The phrase ‹as «Moral philosophy» to «Ethics» or to «Morals,
Intellectual» or «Mental philosophy» to «Intellect» or «Mind, Natural
philosophy» to «Physics, Sanitary science» to «Hygiene, Scientific
men» to «Scientists», «Social science» to «Sociology»;› was changed
to ‹as «Moral philosophy» to «Ethics» or to «Morals, Intellectual»;
or «Mental philosophy» to «Intellect»; or «Mind, Natural philosophy»
to «Physics, Sanitary science»; or «Hygiene, Scientific men» to
«Scientists»; or «Social science» to «Sociology»;›. Specifically,
semicolons have been introduced to improve the syntax of this
complicated phrase.
Page 54. The word ‹slighest› was changed to ‹slightest›.
Pages 58–117. Several instances of originally _gesperrt_ text, in which
the spacing between letters has been increased, have been changed to
bold. Gesperrt text—the HTML/CSS attribute letter-spacing—is not yet
supported by many epub reader browsers. Two instances of gesperrt text
have been preserved. On page 64, the name ‹«Guizot», François Pierre
Guillaume› has been rendered herein with a clumsy artificial gesperrt,
namely by adding explicit spaces [u202f narrow no-break space] between
the letters of ‹F r a n ç o i s P i e r r e›. On page 84, the name
‹«Franklin», John D a v i d› has been rendered herein with similar
artificial gesperrt.
Page 61. The h2 level heading ‹VI. STYLE.› was changed to ‹STYLE.›. A
new h3 heading was inserted: ‹CATALOGUE.›.
Page 62. The h3 level heading ‹STYLE.› was changed to ‹VI. STYLE.›.
Page 81. The h4 heading ‹H. PUNCTUATION, ETC.› was changed to ‹I.
PUNCTUATION, ETC.›.
Page 83. The h4 heading ‹I. ARRANGEMENT.› was changed to ‹J.
ARRANGEMENT.›.
Pages 94–96. In § 258, the two example catalogues were originally
printed side by side: (1.) dictionary catalogue with a “bit of
classification”, on the left, and (2.) dictionary catalogue, “pure
and simple”, on the right. Semantically, these are two independent
lists, which do not comprise a table. To display them side by side
in an ebook using the coding methods currently available to us is
problematic. Therefore, catalogue 2 has been moved after catalogue 1,
and new headings have been inserted. In catalogue 1, the three subjects
‹Satire.›, ‹Sonnets.›, and ‹Wit and humor.› were subordinated under
‹Literature.›, correcting an evident error in the original.
Page 98. The h4 heading ‹J. _Etc._› was changed to ‹K. _Etc._›.
Page 103. The word ‹noticeable› was originally printed on two lines as
‹notice,› ‹able›.
Page 106. The word ‹arrranged› was changed to ‹arranged›.
Pages 109–110. The table is semantically three columns but was printed
in two columns, so appears in the original to have six columns. Herein
the table has been restored to three columns. On page 109, first
column, seventh entry ‹an› is changed to ‹au›.
Page 117. The quotation mark in ‹“A single ful name› has no mate; its
mate possibly belongs after ‹John.›.
