Transcriber’s Notes

The cover image was provided by the transcriber and is placed in the public domain.

Punctuation has been standardized.

To facilitate usage by modern readers, most abbreviated Latin words and names have been expanded to their common non-abbreviated form. (Example: Hom. expanded to Homer; Hor. expanded to Horace.) Also, labels have been added to references for book (bk.), chapter (ch.), line (li.), and letter (ltr.) for clarity.

This book was written in a period when many words had not become standardized in their spelling. Words may have multiple spelling variations or inconsistent hyphenation in the text. These have been left unchanged unless indicated with a Transcriber’s Note.

The symbol ‘‡’ indicates the description in parenthesis has been added to an illustration. This may be needed if there is no caption or if the caption does not describe the image adequately.

In the listings, the alphabetical order of topics has been corrected, but no topics have been added or removed. The letters “I” and “J”, and the letters “U” and “V”, are considered synonymous and alphabetized together by the author.

Footnotes are identified in the text with a superscript number and are shown immediately below the paragraph in which they appear.
