volume nos. to original page nos. in [[double brackets]] for user's ease in
referencing; 3. Added vol. 3's missing pp. 422-423; 4. Inserted line space,
tabbed and boldfaced each surname entry; 5. Corrected a few errors and
misspelled names, indicated by [single brackets]; 6. Questioned certain
dates and assertions by appending [?]; A D V E R T I S E M E N T. CONTRARY to my intention, this third volume is larger than the second, and
I fear that the fourth, of which nearly one half is already printed, may
not be confined in fewer pages than the present. My apology will, probably,
be accepted by all subscribers, for it was most reasonable that each volume
should begin with a _new_ letter. [[material moved from here to vol. 1 preface, on abbreviations]]
