TRANSCRIBER'S NOTES:
Missing punctuation added to lists and Table of Contents.
Missing spaces added between words, where appropriate.
Figure numbers in Roman numerals were changed to Arabic numbers for
consistency. Items in some descriptions of Plates are out of order and were
retained as printed.
Table of Contents was moved before the description of Plate I to keep
all the plates and their descriptors in order.
Description of Plate II: 'of' changed to 'at' ...(Beginning at the
West.)..., and 'Brdge' changed to 'Bridge' in item w.
Description of Plate III: duplicate word 'and' was removed from item 32.
Description of Plate IV: changed 'Psephiuns' to 'Psephinus' and
'Mohammedam' to 'Mohammedan.' Item '((j)). Subterranean passages' is
mis-identified as a duplicate ((h)) both on Plate IV and the
description of Plate IV.
Descriptions of Plates VIII and IX: numbers were changed from Roman to
Arabic to match the plates, and for consistency with remainder of the
book.
Description of Plate XII: changed 'Mahommedan' to 'Mohammedan.'
Removed carat over 'I' in HARAM ES-SHERIF, for consistency with
remaining capitalized text of the word. (Lower case versions contain
the carat, and were unchanged.)

the plate, for consistency with the remainder of the book.
