"Such a universal history as the series will present us with in its completion will be a possession such as no country but our own can boast of.... Its success on the whole has been very remarkable."—Daily Chronicle. Transcriber’s Notes:Obvious spelling/typographical and punctuation errors have been corrected after careful comparison with other occurrences within the text and consultation of external sources. Transcriber’s notes in text—mostly detailing corrections—are indicated by faint dotted underlining. Scroll the mouse over the word and the note will appear. The text is a compilation of previously published articles. Inconsistent spelling and inline hyphenation occurs across chapters and is retained: * “meal-worm[s]” occurs four times, “mealworm[s]” thirteen times Page 3: The signature date 1800 is clear error, 1898 is likely correct. Page 28, 29: “I used still to to”, extra “to” removed. Last Pub. Page: Last entry “The Franks” unnumbered, retained. This handwritten note appears on the first page of the transcriber's copy of the book. Wm. Lambert. |
