Transcriber's notes:
(1) Numbers following letters (without space) like C2 were originally printed in subscript. Letter subscripts are preceded by an underscore, like C_n.
(2) Characters following a carat (^) were printed in superscript.
(3) Side-notes were relocated to function as titles of their respective paragraphs.
(4) Macrons and breves above letters and dots below letters were not inserted.
(5) [root] stands for the root symbol; [alpha], [beta], etc. for greek letters.
(6) The following typographical errors have been corrected:
ARTICLE MADISON, JAMES: "On the 26th of December 1785 Jefferson's Bill for establishing religious freedom in Virginia, which had been introduced by Madison, was passed. In the Virginia House of Delegates, as in the Continental Congress ..." 'Virginia' amended from 'Viginia'.
ARTICLE MADRAS: "... the college of agriculture at Coimbatore; the teachers' college at Saidapet; the school of arts at Madras; and the military orphanage at Ootacamund, in memory of Sir Henry Lawrence." 'orphanage' amended from 'ophanage'.
ARTICLE MAGNETISM: "... the ratio of magnetization to magnetizing force remained sensibly constant at 6.4, which may therefore with great probability be assumed to represent the initial value ..." 'which' amended from 'wihch'.
ARTICLE MAGNETISM: "From experiments of both classes it appears that for a given field there is a certain value of the load for which the magnetization is a maximum, the maximum occurring at a smaller load the stronger the field." 'occurring' amended from 'occuring'.
ARTICLE MAGNETISM: "Recent researches have shown that other important changes in its properties occur at the same critical temperature." 'important' amended from 'imporant'.
ARTICLE MAGNETISM: "Wills found that the susceptibility was constant in fields ranging from 4200 to 15,000." 'susceptibility' amended from 'suceptibility'.
ARTICLE MAGNETISM, TERRESTRIAL: "As explained above, a would represent the range in a year of no sun-spots, while 100 b would represent the excess over this shown by the range in a year when Wolf's sun-spot frequency is 100." "Wolf's" amended from "Wolfer's".
