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 CHALCIS: "Chalcis subsequently became a member of both the
Delian Leagues. In the Hellenistic period it gained importance as a
fortress by which the Macedonian rulers controlled central Greece".
'importance' amended from 'inportance'.
ARTICLE CHAMISSO, ADELBERT VON: "He often deals with gloomy and
sometimes with ghastly and repulsive subjects; and even in his
lighter and gayer productions there is an undertone of sadness or
of satire". 'productions' Amended from 'proudctions'.
ARTICLE CHANNEL ISLANDS: "... Burhou and Ortach, and numerous other
islets west of it, and west again the notorious Casquets, an angry
group of jagged rocks, on the largest of which is a powerful
lighthouse". 'an' amended from 'and'.
