TRANSCRIBER'S NOTES
The abbreviations B. C. and A. D. have been spaced throughout the text for consistency.
The anchors for footnotes [44:3] and [112:2] are missing in the original and have been added by the Transcriber.
Footnote [288:5] reads as follows: "Williams' Hinduism, pp. 119-110." The page references are in error, but Transcriber has left the note as printed.
Some of the words in Footnote [560:2] are cut off in the page scan. Unclear words have been extrapolated from context.
Footnote [564:5] is printed "John, Bishop of Constantinople, who died". Whatever text is intended to follow is missing from the original. Transcriber has added an ellipsis to indicate missing text.
In Chapter XXXIX., there are two consecutive sections numbered 6. They have been left as in the original.
6. _He was born in a Cave._ 6. _He was ordered to be put to death._
