Freeman, Edward A. (Edward Augustus)
Europe -- Historical geography
P. 221, side-note. For ‘kingdom’ read ‘kingdoms.’
P. 258, l. 14. I was here speaking purely geographically, before much,
if anything, had been heard of the cry of _Italia irredenta_. How far I
go with that cry, how far not, I have explained in Historical Essays,
Third Series, p. 206.
P. 261, l. 1. For ‘Montbeilliard,’ read ‘Montbeliard.’
P. 263, side-note. For ‘Burgundian possession of its county’ read
‘Burgundian possessions of its counts.’
P. 267, l. 1. For ‘maps’ read ‘map.’
P. 288, l. 11 from bottom. For ‘High and Low Savoy’ read ‘Savoy and
High Savoy.’
P. 300, side-note. For ‘1662’ read ‘1663.’
P. 306, l. 8. At present it would seem that this mysterious name takes
in all those kingdoms, counties, lordships, &c., which are held by
the Archduke of Austria, and which do not form part of the kingdom of
Hungary and its _partes annexæ_. For these I have elsewhere, according
to an old analogy, suggested the more intelligible name of _Nungary_.
P. 319, l. 3. That is Philip ‘the Handsome,’ son of Maximilian and
father of Charles the Fifth.
P. 334, l. 9. Aquitaine, the inheritance of Eleanor, did not come under
the forfeiture of the fiefs actually held by John.
P. 340, l. 4 from bottom. Roussillon is another case of a land freed
from homage and afterwards annexed as a foreign conquest.
P. 369, l. 17. For ‘farther’ read ‘further.’
P. 389, side-note. For ‘conquest’ read ‘conquests of.’
P. 408, side-note. For ‘final’ read ‘first.’
P. 413, side-note. For ‘possession of Venetian cities’ read
‘possessions of Venetian families.’
P. 429, l. 15. Since this was printed, Dulcigno has been restored to
Montenegro, in exchange for some inland Albanian territory given back
to the Turk. The formation of the Albanian League is not unlikely to
affect the geography of Herzegovina; but no change has yet (January
1881) taken place which can be shown on the map.
P. 441, l. 8. How unpleasant this truth is felt to be in certain
quarters, is shown by a small incident of last year. I sent a set of
manuscript maps of Dalmatia to Mr. Arthur Evans for his suggestions.
Those maps vanished in the Imperial, Royal, and Apostolic post-office,
and never reached his address at Ragusa. If therefore the revolutions
of Dalmatian geography are less accurately marked in this book than
they should be, the fault is not mine. In Imperial, Royal, and
Apostolic quarters it is doubtless inconvenient to allow any memory
of days when free Ragusa had not bowed to any self-styled Emperor,
either from Corsica or from Lorraine, or of still later days when free
Tzernagora reached to her own sea at Cattaro. Those who have made it
their business to filch the substance may naturally enough think it
their business to filch the picture also.
