Fontanier and Fontanieu probably refer to the same person.
The text occasionally gives ohm and aime as inits of volume; these are
probably aams or ames (circa 30-36 imperial gallons).
There are several references to a table of elasticities of vapour; it is
not clear which table is meant.
Page 16, table: the temperature 164° stands out from the other
temperatures, and may be wrong (possibly error for 194°)
Page 16, The specific gravity of water at 60° being 1000, at 62° it is
99,981. This phrase contains at least one mistake: the intention might
be specific gravities 100 and 99·981, respectively (see also the table
following on page 21/22).
Page 19, table, first row, column 70°: 9991 does not fit in with the
other data, this is possibly an error for 9981.
Page 25, table, first row (17°): 44·9 does not fit with the other data;
this is possibly an error for 44·2; last row but one (24°): 693 does not
fit with the other data; possibly an error for 993.
Page 26, table, row 20°: the last value was partly illegible in the
original, this should probably be 68·4; row 22° the last decimal was
illegible in the original, this should probably be 67·7 or 67·8.
Page 29, Lausania inermis: probably Lawsonia inermis.
Page 41, reference to Gems, cutting of: the article Gems refers to the
article Lapidary for cutting of gems.
Page 46, Fig. 14, a plan of the same: Fig. 14 is a different side view.
Page 67, 1000 of a grain of silver: possibly an error for 1/1000 of a
grain of silver.
Page 99, reference to Saccharometer: there is no article Saccharometer;
the saccharometer is discussed in the article Beer only.
Page 111-112, description of location of elements relative to each
other: the author has reversed left and right.
Page 118, See Oil of Ben: there is no such article; the only reference
to Oil of Ben occurs on page 895 (table).
Page 150, teint, Germ.: probably error for teint, French.
Page 169, Fernambouc: the 16th century French name for Pernambuco.
Page 178, calculation: 315 loaves at 6d. give 7_l._ 17_s._ 6_d._, making
the clear profit 11_s._ 10_d._
Page 225, Chloride of Lime: there is no such article; chloride of lime
is discussed under Bleaching.
Page 249, reference to Mill: there is no such article; the article Sugar
has a part on mills.
Page 339, first table: the first two columns do not add up to the
sub-totals given; it is not clear whether this is due to errors in the
data or to miscalculation.
Page 358, Fig. 337 and accompanying text: text and illustration do not
seem to fit together, few of the parts mentioned appear in the figure.
Page 382, reference to Prussic Acid: the Dictionary does not have this
article.
Page 392, the year 173: the last digit was missing from the original,
and has been replaced with a tilde (173~). The 1858 enlarged edition
gives 1730 as the year.
Page 396, by of a lever: possibly a word is missing (by means of a lever
or similar).
Page 403, footnote [24]: 2198 should possibly read 1829.
Page 512, table Phosphorus: The two values in the last column are
incompatible: the first should be one half of the second.
Page 522, about 6-1/2 per cent. upon: possibly a word (such as
depending) is missing.
Page 564, second table: the totals do not always add up completely, and
the meaning of some of the data is unclear.
