Transcriber’s Note:
The original volume promised many illustrations. However, the edition used here had none of them. The List of Illustrations is retained; however, the pages indicated are not valid.
The text was printed with two columns per page, which could not be reproduced in this format.
Minor errors, attributable to the printer, have been corrected. Please see the transcriber’s [note] at the end of this text for details regarding the handling of any textual issues encountered during its preparation.

The scope of this volume includes topics from ‘Falkland’ to ‘Mark’. There are numerous cross-references between topics, many of themm to be found in other volumes of this edition. Several of these are already provided by Project Gutenberg, but without the mechanism of allowing for external hyperlinks. To avoid any confusion, none of the references were linked.
Corrections are indicated using an underline highlight. Placing the cursor over the correction will produce the original text in a small popup.
