Original spelling and grammar have been generally retained, with some exceptions noted below. Original printed page numbers are shown like this: {52}. Footnotes and other anchored notes have been relabeled 1–73, and moved from within paragraphs to nearby locations between paragraphs. I produced the cover image and hereby assign it to the public domain.

Large curly brackets that graphically indicate combination of information on two or more lines of text have been removed. The text was modified, if necessary, to retain the original meaning. In most cases, as on page 8, this was trivial. However, the task was not trivial for the chart beginning at the bottom of page 11, so errors of interpretation are not impossible. For reference, the original image is shown below.

The original Table of Contents failed to connect reliably with the text. The original has been severely overhauled, without further comment here.

Precise horizontal spacing of words is essential in this book. But precise horizontal spacing is difficult to attain in an ebook, given the constraints necessarily imposed upon us. Browser support of html and css varies considerably; support for specialized Unicode space characters varies; the ebook product must be readable on many different devices with widely varying screen sizes; and users may choose from many widely different fonts. The following example of a catalogue entry is taken from page 90.

— Same. Erkl. von O. Heine. Berlin, 1857. 8º.

It should not look like the following, from which the required spacing has been removed:

— Same. Erkl. von O. Heine. Berlin, 1857. 8º.

If these two examples look alike, or if strange characters appear in the first example, then a different choice of browser or device is recommended.

• Page 12. The word unsorbordinated was changed to unsubordinated.
• Page 15. During the process of producing an ebook, headings are coded in HTML as h1–h6 elements, with h1 representing the highest level in an outline.

• Page 51. The phrase as Moral philosophy to Ethics or to Morals, Intellectual or Mental philosophy to Intellect or Mind, Natural philosophy to Physics, Sanitary science to Hygiene, Scientific men to Scientists, Social science to Sociology; was changed to as Moral philosophy to Ethics or to Morals, Intellectual; or Mental philosophy to Intellect; or Mind, Natural philosophy to Physics, Sanitary science; or Hygiene, Scientific men to Scientists; or Social science to Sociology;. Specifically, semicolons have been introduced to improve the syntax of this complicated phrase.
• Page 54. The word slighest was changed to slightest.
• Pages 58–117. Several instances of originally gesperrt text, in which the spacing between letters has been increased, have been changed to bold. Gesperrt text—the HTML/CSS attribute letter-spacing—is not yet supported by many epub reader browsers. Two instances of gesperrt text have been preserved. On page 64, the name Guizot, FranÇois Pierre Guillaume has been rendered herein with a clumsy artificial gesperrt, namely by adding explicit spaces [u202f narrow no-break space] between the letters of FranÇois Pierre. On page 84, the name Franklin, John David has been rendered herein with similar artificial gesperrt.

In § 258, the two example catalogues were originally printed side by side: (1.) dictionary catalogue with a “bit of classification”, on the left, and (2.) dictionary catalogue, “pure and simple”, on the right. Semantically, these are two independent lists, which do not comprise a table. Catalogue 2 has been moved after catalogue 1, and new headings have been inserted. In catalogue 1, the three subjects Satire., Sonnets., and Wit and humor. were subordinated under Literature., correcting an evident error in the original.

• Page 103. The word noticeable was originally printed on two lines as notice, able.
• Page 106. The word arrranged was changed to arranged.
