Transcriber’s Notes:

General Notes

The different sections of the book were written by different
authors; inconsistent spelling, lay-out, capitalisation, phonetics,
use of ligatures and diacritics, spacing of abbreviations,
transcription, punctuation, etc. have therefore been retained (incl.
canon/canyon/cañon; Spencer/Spenser; i.e./i. e., A.D./A. D., etc.)
except as mentioned below. The same applies to textual and factual
inconsistencies and contradictions.

The order of entries in alphabetical lists is not always truly
alphabetical; this has not been changed.

Indented paragraphs in this text indicate a different lay-out in the
printed work, such as larger or smaller font size, different margins
or indentation, etc. Not all of these differences have been
indicated in this text.

The use of section headings in the printed work was not always
unambiguous, nor was their hierarchy. Section headings (indicated by
two blank lines in this transcription) in this text are therefore
based on the printed book’s typography and on apparent logic, and
may not reflect the authors’ intentions. Some sections have no
section headings as such.

Several subjects mentioned in the various lists of contents are not
present in the original work; similarly, several internal references
do not exist.

In some of the larger tables, the relation between table elements
has had to be surmised; the tables as presented here may therefore
not fully reflect the authors’ intent.

For this text version, the larger tables have had to be split and/or
re-arranged. For the comparison tables in particular, this means
that some of the comparative information has been lost.

Specific Notes

Page 104-107, Table Identification of Minerals, See Plate I: there
is no Plate I with figures of minerals in the original work.

Page 158, Flowers of the Wooded Pastures: the referenced Fig. 13 is
not present in the original book.

Page 267, Book of Races and Peoples: various district names is
probably an error for various distinct names.

Page 293, table Comparative Classification of Races and Peoples:
Fellaheen, 5,000,000 ( ): the reason for the brackets is not clear.

Page 360, Fall of Judah and Babylonian Captivity: The history of the
Jews during the Babylonish captivity: this was printed as a regular
paragraph in the original book, but could have been intended as a
heading for a section that was not included in the book.

Page 413, Table IX.: St. Francis of Assisi should probably have been
printed in the columns Italy and Church.

Page 423, Table XI., column Ottoman Empire and Persia, War with
Austria 1682-1699: possibly this should read 1593-1669 (the 1682 war
is mentioned on page 425, Table XII.).

Page 442, table Principal Languages Spoken: The data for English and
French are identical, which is probably an error. The totals and
proportions are not in agreement with the tabulated data; since it
is not clear which data are wrong, this has not been changed.

Page 448-452, Panoramic View of the River Rhine: texts inside the
illustration have been copied outside the illustration.

Page 472-476, Table of the Sovereigns of England: There are some
discrepancies between dates of birth and ages; not changed.

Page 474, Table of the Sovereigns of England: Edward VI., “Of a
consumption”: as printed in original book.

Page 495, GERMANY: ... on a subsequent page: the table is given on
the same page.

Page 497, Defense: reference to Armies and Navies of the World: not
present in the original book.

Page 546, Under Peter the Great: reference to Peter the Great:
unclear to which part of the text this refers, as there is no
separate section on Peter the Great apart from this one.

Page 546, Napoleonic Period: reference to Alexander I. and Napoleon:
unclear to which part of the text this refers, as there are no
separate sections on Alexander I. and Napoleon.

Page 572, Turkey, or Ottoman Empire (table): population numbers do
not add up to the total given (possibly the total should read
20,180,000); the meaning of the sentence directly underneath the
table is not clear.

Page 573, Physical Features: reference to Asia Minor: there is no
section on Asia Minor in the book.

Page 648, Democrats Restored ... Woodrow Wilson: there are two
footnote anchors on this page in the printed book (before Farm Loan
Banks and before From the very beginning of the European War), but
no footnotes. The anchors have been deleted.

Page 714, Accent of Words: In the Book of Language and Literature
primary and secondary accents are represented by =´= and ´,
respectively. The print quality of the original work was not always
sufficient to distinguish between the two variants.

Page 733, Asterism: the printed book shows two asterisms; possibly
one of those was intended to be an inverted asterism.

Page 744, à rivederci: as printed in original work; not changed.

Page 745, carnichons: error for cornichons; not changed.

Page 753, recherche: possibly error for recherché; not changed.

Page 771, 18th century (Pepys): probably error for 17th century;
not changed.

Page 783, Aldine Press: reference to Manutius: there is no other
occurrence of Manutius in the book.

Page 788, Chriemhild or Kriemhild: reference to Kriemhild: this
entry seems to reference itself.

Page 796, Folk: reference to Fairies: there is no entry Fairies (or
Fairy) in the book.

Page 821-845, Pronouncing Dictionary of Myhtology: this section
contains several references to entries that are not present in the
work.

Page 856, Find the cost of 3230 bushels of wheat, at 72c per bushel:
the calculation given is for 3230 pounds (with 60 pounds per
bushel).

Page 857, Long or Linear Measure: reference to Metric System: not
present in the book.

Page 878, Tax Table, Explanation of Table: the entry for $10,000 is
not present in the table.

Page 894, Describe radium and its special properties: the printed
book uses subscripts as exponents; not changed.

Page 763-764, Norman-French Period and Elizabethan and Puritan
Period: there is no description of the period between these two
(1400-1559) in the original work.

Changes and corrections made

Obvious minor punctuation and typographical errors have been
corrected silently.

Regularly printed scientific names have been italicised for
consistency.

Some diacritical symbols on French and German words have been
corrected or added for consistency.

Some phonetics have been corrected or completed where this was
important for their pronunciation, this has not been done for
consistency.

Illustrations and tables have been moved out of the text when they
were printed inside paragraphs; footnotes have been moved to
directly underneath the paragraph or table to which they belong.

Various pages: Pharoah has been changed to Pharaoh.

Comparative History of Nations: several entries have been moved to
maintain the given chronological order.

Indicator letters have been added to some pronouncing dictionaries
for consistency.
