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) [root] stands for the root symbol; [alpha], [beta], etc. for greek
      letters, [oo] for infinity symbol and [dP] for partial differential
      symbol.

(6) The following typographical errors have been corrected:

    ARTICLE HALLER, ALBRECHT VON: "From a literary point of view the
      main result of this, the first of his many journeys through the
      Alps, was his poem entitled Die Alpen, which was finished in March
      1729, and appeared in the first edition (1732) of his Gedichte."
      'poem' amended from 'peom'.

    ARTICLE HAMBURG: "... and if the progress of the tide up the river
      gives indication of danger, another three shots follow." 'another'
      amended from 'other'.

    ARTICLE HARBOUR: "Ostend is the only jetty harbour in which a large
      sluicing basin has been recently constructed, but it can only
      provide for the maintenance of deep-water quays in its vicinity;
     ..." 'harbour' amended from 'habour'.

    ARTICLE HARMONICA: "... Franz Leppich's panmelodicon in 1810,
      Buschmann's uranion in the same year, &c. Of most of these nothing
      now remains but the name and a description in the Allgemeine
      musikalische Zeitung..." Added 'in'.
