PLACE NAMES:
The form “Herculanum” (for Herculanum) was used consistently. The English city is Peterboro’ (with apostrophe) in its first few appearances, and then changes to Peterborough for the remainder of the book. The Italian city was conventionally spelled “Sienna” (with two n’s) in English.
Many names, especially non-European ones, differ significantly from their modern form. Some of the following are conjectural.
Near East:
Ipsamboul: Abu Simbel
Bozrah: probably modern Bouseira, Jordan (not “Bosrah”, modern Basra)
Greater India (including modern Pakistan and Bangladesh)
Tope: the form “stupa” is more common
Indian desert: Thar desert
Baillur: Belur
Chillambaram: probably Chidambaram; the author’s sources seem to
have had trouble with “l” in South Indian names
Conjeveram: Kanchipuram
Futtehpore Sikhri: Fatehpur Sikri
Hullabid: Halebid
Jaunpore: Janpur
Jugganat: the name of the deity is Jagannath; the English name-form
led to the word “juggernaut”
Kantonnuggur: Kantanagar
Oudeypore: the author seems not to have realized that this is the same
place as Udaipur, cited with that spelling in the same paragraph
Scinde: Sind
Shepree: could not be identified.
The author’s source is probably James Ferguson, who describes it
as “near Gualior” (Gwalior)
Tanjore: Thanjavur
Worangul: Varangal
Cambodia:
Nakhon Wat: better known as Angkor Wat
