- Tympanum, Transcriber’s note
The cover of this book was created by the transcriber and is placed in the public domain. In the original Fig. 22 did not exist. Some of the ornamental capitals at the beginning of chapters may not be visible if you are reading this book on a mobile device. Errors in punctuation and misplaced spaces were corrected silently. Also the following corrections were made, on page
10 “lways” changed to “always” (do not always cut out to the edges)
35 “latter” changed to “later” (sooner or later.)
42 The second “Fig. 38.” changed to “Panel in Low-relief” (See list of Plates.)
49 “boldy” changed to “boldly” (To carve boldly we must use)
75 “12” changed to “52” (or project beyond it, illustrated by Fig. 52.)
90 “Egpytian” changed to “Egyptian” (Egyptian Cutting.)
113 “FrÉres” changed to “FrÈres” (that of SÖhnee FrÈres)
143 “Vertemnus” changed to “Vertumnus” (Flora and Pomona and Vertumnus in simple archaic forms). Otherwise the original was preserved, including inconsistencies in spelling and hyphenation. |
