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) [root] stands for the root symbol; [alpha], [beta], etc. for greek
letters.
(6) The following typographical errors have been corrected:
ARTICLE HUGO, VICTOR MARIE: "In 1831 appeared the greatest of all
tragic or historic or romantic poems in the form of prose
narrative, Notre-Dame de Paris." 'Notre' amended from 'Norte'.
ARTICLE HUMOUR: "To expect exalted humour is a contradiction in
terms.... The poet, therefore, must place the object he would have
the subject of humour in a state of inferiority; in other words,
the subject of humour must be low." 'contradiction' amended from
'contradition'.
ARTICLE HUNGARY: "This policy he pursued with masterly skill. His
first acts on taking up his office were to repudiate the authority
of the Hungarian diet, to replace the Magyar officials with ardent
'Illyrians,' and to proclaim martial law." 'Magyar' amended from
'Maygar'.
ARTICLE HUPFELD, HERMANN: "See E. Riehm, Hermann Hupfeld (Halle,
1867); W. Kay, Crisis Hupfeldiana (1865); and the article by A.
Kamphausen in Band viii. of Herzog-Hauck's Realencyklopadie
(1900)." 'Hupfeldiana' amended from 'Hupeldiana'.
