------------------------------------------------------------------------ Transcriber’s Note: This version of the text cannot represent certain typographical effects. Italics are delimited with the ‘_’ character as _italic_. Bold text is delimited with the ‘=’ character. The text was printed in two columns, which have not been preserved here. The printer, when setting a reference from one topic to another, sometimes gave the reference on a separate line, but often on a single line. To preserve the regular structure of the entries, the former has been adopted. In the Preface, the editor informs us that Mr. Harbottle died before he could do the final editorial work (correcting the proofs and preparing the Index.) In light of that apology, we have taken pains to correct the many minor errors which are reasonably attributable to the printer. Please see the transcriber’s note at the end of this text for details.
