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, [oo] for infinity, and [alpha],
[beta], etc. for greek letters.
(6) The following typographical errors have been corrected:
ARTICLE GYROSCOPE AND GYROSTAT: "... in such a manner that a point
on the pendulum at a distance ..." ''pendulum'' amended from
''pedulum''.
ARTICLE GYROSCOPE AND GYROSTAT: "Interpreted geometrically on the
deformable hyperboloid, flattened in the plane of the focal ellipse
..." ''hyperboloid'' amended from ''hyperboloia''.
ARTICLE HAEMOSPORIDIA: "... this does not represent reserve
material, but is an excreted by-product derived from the
haemoglobin." ''by-product'' amended from ''bye-product''.
ARTICLE HALIFAX, GEORGE MONTAGU DUNK: "About this time he sought to
become a secretary of state, but in vain, although he was allowed
to enter the cabinet in 1757." ''become'' amended from ''became''.
ARTICLE HALLEFLINTA: "Rocks very similar to the typical Swedish
halleflintas occur in Tirol, in Galicia and eastern Bohemia."
