The original text was printed in two columns, which cannot be replicated here.
As is common in dictionaries, each column is headed with a three-letter indication of the first and last articles on that page. This feature is not feasible here.
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.
