Transcriber's Notes

Inconsistent spellings and hyphenations such as "re-election" and "reëlection" have been conformed, and obvious typographical errors have been corrected.

The original contains an index in Volume II covering Volumes I and II. Volume III, which was published later, contains an index covering all three volumes. Therefore, the Volume II index has been omitted.

The original of Volume III refers to both "Appleton's Encyclopedia" and "Appleton's Cyclopædia." The correct title, as used in Volumes I and II, is "Appleton's Cyclopædia" and has been corrected in Volume III.
