Transcriber’s Note

The phrase ‘ground floor’ appears on occasion as ‘ground-floor’, with no preponderance of either. Both are kept as found. ‘Daybreak’ and ‘day-break’ are used interchangeably as well.

The first complete footnote on p. 8 refers to styles of latticework. However, the anchor in the text is missing. It has been added at the end of the paragraph, presuming that the discussion is now about ‘inferior houses’, but the placement is otherwise arbitrary.

Lapses of punctuation in the Index have been corrected without comment.

The index entries for ‘Paradise’ and ‘Benzoin’ cross-reference ‘Genneh’ and ‘Gáwee’, respectively. However, neither entry exists. The index entry for ‘Hogget el-bahr’ has no page reference, nor does the phrase appear in the text. The page reference for ‘Jugglers‘ was transposed from ‘355’ to ‘553’. The page reference for ‘Copts’, under the ‘Pilgrimage’ item was incorrectly as ’561’, rather than ‘501’. An apparently specious (because out-of-order) reference regarding printed translations of the Ku-rán should be ‘234’ rather than ‘44’. The page reference for the virtues of Mohammed’s ninety-nine names is missing, and p. [228] has been provided as the most likely.

Other errors deemed most likely to be the printer’s have been corrected, and are noted here. The references are to the page and line in the original.
