Letter subscripts are preceded by an underscore, like C_n. (2) Characters following a carat (^) were printed in superscript. (3) Side-notes were relocated to function as titles of their respective paragraphs. (4) Macrons and breves above letters and dots below letters were not inserted. (5) The following typographical errors have been corrected: ARTICLE ARMY: "The infantry brigade consists, in the British service, of the brigadier and his staff, four battalions of infantry, and administrative and medical units, the combatant strength being about 4000 men." 'administrative' amended from 'adminstrative'. ARTICLE ARMY: "The question of the value of auxiliary forces, then, as between the continuous work of, say, English territorials, and the permanent though dwindling influence of an original period of active soldiering, is one of considerable importance." 'continuous' amended from 'continous'. ARTICLE ARMY: "Louvois, who was minister of Louis XIV., was the true creator of the French royal army." Added 'who' after 'Louvois'.
