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 GREAT REBELLION: "The king's line was steadily rolled up
from left to right, the Parliamentary troopers captured his guns
and regiment after the regiment broke up." added 'the'.

'accuring'.
ARTICLE GREECE: "If we would judge fairly of tyranny, and of what
it contributed to the development of Greece ..." 'If' amended from

it found it (see the concluding words of Xenophon's Hellenics)."

grasp the principles of historical criticism, to understand the
nature of military operations, and to appreciate the importance of
chronology." 'to' amended from 'too'.

period, viz. Themistocles, Aristides, Cimon and Pericles. From the
Aristides little can be gained." 'Plutarch's' amended from

gained by an appeal to arms, the powers not being prepared to apply
coercion to Turkey." 'It' amended from 'In'.
ARTICLE GREEK ART: "In the same graves with the pottery are
sometimes found plaques of gold or bronze, and towards the end of
the geometric age these sometimes bear scenes from mythology,
treated with the greatest simplicity." 'sometimes' amended from
'somtimes'.
ARTICLE GREEK LANGUAGE: "The ancestry of the Greek towns of Sicily
has been explained by Thucydides (vi. 2-5). Selinus, a colony of
