Transcriber's notes:
(1) Numbers following letters (without space) like C2 were originally
printed in subscript. 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) [root] stands for the root symbol; [alpha], [beta], etc. for greek
letters.
(6) The following typographical errors have been corrected:
ARTICLE GEOFFREY: "... his history in chiefly one of quarrels, with
the see of Canterbury, with the chancellor William Longchamp, with
his half-brothers Richard and John, and especially with his canons
at York." 'William' amended from 'Willian'.
ARTICLE GEOLOGY: "... and at the same time greater appreciation has
been shown of the signification and strength of the geological
proofs of the high antiquity of our planet." 'strength' amended
from 'stength'.
ARTICLE GEOLOGY: "... it can be demonstrated that sometimes an inch
or two of sediment might, on certain horizons, represent the
deposit of an enormously longer period than a hundred or a thousand
times the same amount of sediment on other horizons." 'might'
amended from 'much'.
ARTICLE GEOLOGY: "But no such extensive disturbance of the normal
conditions of the distribution of life can take place without
carrying with it many secondary effects, and setting in motion a
wide cycle of change and of reaction in the animal and vegetable
kingdoms." 'kingdoms' amended from 'kindgoms'.
ARTICLE GEOMETRY: "The bases and altitudes of equal solid
parallelepipeds are reciprocally proportional; and if the bases and
altitudes be reciprocally proportional, the solid parallelepipeds
are equal." 'are' amended from 'and'.
ARTICLE GEOMETRY: "An alternative method of testing a relation is
illustrated in the following example:--If A, B, C, D, E,
F be six collinear points, then" 'following example:--' amended
from 'example: following'.
ARTICLE GEOMETRY: "3. In an hyperbolic involution any two conjugate
points are harmonic conjugates with regard to the two foci." 'an'
amended from 'a'.
ARTICLE GEOMETRY: "If two lines, given by their projections,
intersect, the intersection of their planes and the intersection of
their elevations must lie in a line perpendicular to the axis,
because they must be the projections of the point common to the two
lines." 'planes' amended from 'plans'.
ARTICLE GEOMETRY: "Where this is the case, if [alpha] be the measure
of curvature, the linear element can be put into the form" 'if'
amended from 'it'.
