Transcriber's notes:

(1) Numbers following letters (without space) like C2 were originally
      printed in subscript. When letters are subscripted, they are
      preceded by an underscore, like C_n.

(2) Characters following a carat (^) were originally printed in
      superscript.

(3) Side-notes were relocated to function as titles of their respective
      paragraphs.

(4) Letters topped by Macron are represented as [=x].

(5) The following typographical errors have been corrected:

    Article CONVEYANCING: "By this ingenious device was the publicity
      of feoffment or enrolment avoided, and the lease and release, as
      the process was called, remained the usual mode of conveying a
      freehold, in possession down to the 19th century." 'possession'
      amended from 'posession'.

    Article COPPER: "Vessels of several designs are used--some modelled
      exactly after steel converters, others barrel-shaped, but all with
      side tuyeres elevated about 10 in. above the level of the bottom
      lining." 'others' amended from 'other'.

    Article COPYRIGHT: "The obsolete copyright of the crown in Lilly's
      Latin Grammar was founded on the fact of its having been drawn up
      at the king's expense. The universities have a joint right (with
      the crown's patentees) of printing acts of parliament."
      'parliament' amended from 'parliment'.

    Article COPYRIGHT: "No one, it has been said, has a right to take,
      whether with or without acknowledgment, a material and substantial
      portion of another's work, his arguments, his illustrations, his
      authorities, for the purpose of making or improving a rival
      publication."'making' amended from'makinng'.
