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) The following typographical errors have been corrected:
ARTICLE FOX, RICHARD: "He also appears to have studied at
Cambridge, but nothing definite is known of the first thirty-five
years of his career." 'thirty-five' amended from 'thiry-five'.
ARTICLE France: "After desperate strife, an agreement between the
two rivals, Arnulf's support, and the death of Odo, secured it for
Charles III., surnamed the Simple." 'agreement' amended from
'agreeement'.
ARTICLE France: "He in his turn tried to stem the tumultuous
current which had borne him along, and to prevent discord; but the
check to his policy of an understanding with Prussia and with
Sardinia ..." 'in' amended from 'is'.
ARTICLE France: "The pope banished, it was now desirable to send
away those to whom Italy had been more or less promised. Eugène de
Beauharnais, Napoleon's stepson, was transferred to Frankfort, and
Murat carefully watched until the time should come to take him to
Russia and install him as king of Poland." 'install' amended from
'instal'.
