Some missing punctuation has been added and obvious minor typographical
errors have been corrected silently.
Footnotes have been moved to under the paragraph etc. they refer to.
Illustrations have been moved to where they are first or most fully
described, they are therefore not always given in numerical order (the
original work does not always show them in numerical order either).
Illustration numbers have been added to illustrations that lacked a
number.
Multi-page tables have been changed to single tables; tables have been
re-arranged or split; some tables are presented here with legends or
table notes.
For the sake of consistency, the following changes have been made
throughout the text:
- All references to illustration numbers in the text have been
italicised (_Fig._ nnn etc.); reference letters in the text have been
standardised to italics (for lower case letters) and capitals (for upper
case letters).
- Apostrophes in French words have been closed with the following word
where necessary.
- All decimal points have been changed to mid-dots, commas and dashes
have been changed to mid-dots or vice versa where necessary.
- Accents on French words printed in capitals have been moved where
necessary (for example E' has been changed to É).
- The Alphabetical List of Articles has been added.
- The German ...saure in nouns has been standardised to ...säure.
- The author uses the single and double dashed pound sign; both are
represented here by the same symbol (£). All £/l. s. and d. (pound,
shilling, pence) have been italicised for consistency.
