P. 19, l. 10. Latterly the name _Balkan Peninsula_ has come into more
general use.
P. 38, side-note. For ‘Cities of independent state’ read ‘Growth of
independent states.’
P. 41, l. 10 from bottom. This is true in a rough practical way.
But when I wrote this, I hardly took in the fact that not a few
Greek cities, though practically subject to the Empire, were not
finally incorporated with it till ages later, perhaps never formally
incorporated at all.
P. 55, l. 7. For ‘south-east’ read ‘south-west.’
P. 55, l. 8. For ‘north-west’ read ‘north-east.’
P. 71. When I wrote this, I had not taken in the true history of the
Rouman people. See below, p. 435.
P. 88, l. 14. Since this was written, I wrote the article ‘Goths,’ in
the Encyclopædia Britannica, where I have gone rather more fully into
their history from later and minuter study.
P. 90, l. 4 from the bottom. I believe the existence of a _Gothia_
by that name in Spain is a little doubtful. As to the _Gothia_ in
Gaul, otherwise _Septimania_, and the other _Gothia_ in the Tauric
Chersonêsos, there is no doubt.
P. 105, l. 14 from bottom. I believe however that the coins of some of
the Provençal cities point to a retention of allegiance to the Empire
much later. Still there is no doubt as to the formal cession.
P. 115, l. 5 from bottom. I now see no reason to believe in any
Albanian migrations into Greece till long afterwards. But I still have
no doubt that the Albanians strictly represent the old Illyrians.
P. 119. Dele side-note, ‘The cession of Gaulish possessions.’
P. 126, l. 6. For ‘_the_ great Mahometan powers’ read ‘_the two_ great
Mahometan powers.’
P. 138, l. 9. Dele ‘much as.’
P. 154. The growth of the Christian states in Spain will be found more
fully and accurately given in the specially Spanish chapter, Chapter
XII.
P. 156, l. 4. It will be at once seen that this was written before
the events of 1877-8. The later changes in these lands will be found
described in Chapter X.
P. 167, l. 10. For ‘division’ read ‘divisions.’
P. 172, side-note. For ‘province’ read ‘provinces.’
P. 180, side-note. For ‘schemes’ read ‘scheme.’
P. 189, l. 12. For ‘were’ read ‘some were.’
P. 216, side-note. For ‘ecclesiastical towns’ read ‘ecclesiastical
powers.’
