Specific Notes
Page 72-73: the central part of the illustration was invisible in the available original. Names and numbers are difficult or impossible to read even in the enlarged illustration.
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 480-481: the central part of the illustration was missing from the available original. Names of buildings and streets are difficult or impossible to read even in the enlarged illustration.
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 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.

Several tables have had to be split or re-arranged so that the contents could be displayed in the available width and height. Many of the comparison tables have unavoidably lost some comparison information due to this split (e.g. Comparative History of Nations).
