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) dP stands for the partial-derivative symbol, or curled 'd'.

(6) [oo] stands for the infinity symbol, and [int] for the integral
      symbol.

(7) The following typographical errors have been corrected:

    ARTICLE EKATERINOSLAV: "Nearly 40,000 persons find occupation in
      factories, the most important being iron-works and agricultural
      machinery works, though there are also tobacco... " 'important'
      amended from 'imporant'.

    ARTICLE ELASTICITY: "The limits of perfect elasticity as regards
      change of shape, on the other hand, are very low, if they exist at
      all, for glasses and other hard, brittle solids; but a class of
      metals including copper, brass, steel, and platinum are very
      perfectly elastic as regards distortion, provided that the
      distortion is not too great." Missing 'and' after'steel'.

    ARTICLE ELASTICITY: "The parts of the radii vectors within the
     sphere..."'vectors' amended from'vectores'.

    ARTICLE ELBE: "Its total length is 725 m., of which 190 are in
      Bohemia, 77 in the kingdom of Saxony, and 350 in Prussia, the
      remaining 108 being in Hamburg and other states of Germany." 'Its'
      amended from 'it'.

    ARTICLE ELBE: "Finally, in 1870, 1,000,000 thalers were paid to
      Mecklenburg and 85,000 thalers to Anhalt, which thereupon abandoned
      all claims to levy tolls upon the Elbe shipping, and thus
      navigation on the river became at last entirely free. 'Anhalt'
      amended from 'Anhal'.

    ARTICLE ELBE: "... after driving back at Lobositz the Austrian
      forces which were hastening to their assistance; but only nine
      months later he lost his reputation for "invincibility" by his
      crushing defeat at Kolin..." 'assistance' amended from
      'asistance'.

    ARTICLE ELECTRICITY: "De la Rive reviews the subject in his large
      Treatise on Electricity and Magnetism, vol. ii. ch. iii. The writer
      made a contribution to the discussion in 1874..." 'Magnetism'
      amended from 'Magnestism'.

    ARTICLE ELECTRICITY SUPPLY: "... or by means of overhead wires
      within restricted areas, but the limitations proved uneconomical
      and the installations were for the most part merged into larger
      undertakings sanctioned by parliamentary powers." 'limitations'
      amended from 'limitatons'.

    ARTICLE ELECTROKINETICS: "A vector can most conveniently be
      represented by a symbol such as a + ib, where a stands for any
      length of a units measured horizontally and b for a length b units
      measured vertically, and the symbol i is a sign of perpendicularity
     ..."'symbol' amended from'smybol'.

    ARTICLE ELECTROSCOPE: "The collapse of the gold-leaf is observed
      through an aperture in the case by a microscope, and the time taken
      by the gold-leaf to fall over a certain distance is proportional to
      the ionizing current, that is, to the intensity of the
      radioactivity of the substance.'microscope' amended from
     'miscroscope'.
