TRANSCRIBER’S NOTE:
Original spelling and grammar have been generally retained, with some exceptions noted below. Original printed page numbers are shown like this: {52}. Original small caps are now uppercase. Italics look _like this_. Footnotes have been relabeled 1–18, and moved from within paragraphs to nearby locations between paragraphs. The transcriber produced the cover image and hereby assigns it to the public domain. Original page images are available from archive.org—search for “gri_33125007981968”.
Subscripts are indicated with underscore followed by curly brackets, e.g. “H_{2}O”. Some missing full stops have been inserted. Many ditto marks have been eliminated, replaced by repeated text. Enlarged curly brackets “}{” employed to combine information in two or more lines or columns have been eliminated, by restructuring text if necessary. One such instance is the table on page 39. The table on page 44 and some other large tables were moved from their original locations inside a paragraph of text to nearby locations between paragraphs. The page 44 table was also divided into two parts, after column six. Illustrations have also been moved from within paragraphs of text to nearby locations between paragraphs.
Page 12. “tranformation” to “transformation”. “C_{12}H_{20}O_{11}” to “C_{12}H_{22}O_{11}”.
Page 14n. The note had no anchor; a new one has been inserted after “in sealed glass”.
Page 17. “chemisty” to “chemistry”.
Page 65. “revolution” to “resolution”.
Page 136. “being therefore equivalent to one mgrm” is retained, but presumably should be read “being therefore equivalent to ten mgrm”.
Page 196n. The note had no anchor in the text. A new one has been inserted after “papers published by the Institute for 1885.”, as a plausible guess.
Page 197. “following seven groups” to “following eight groups”.
Page 220. “the following way” to “the following may”.
Page 245. A section of advertisements begins here. This section in the original printed book depended heavily upon the advantages of typography, graphics, and page-breaks. In this simple text edition, the codes [advertisement] and [/advertisement] have been inserted fore and aft, for each ad.
