Everybody's Cyclopedia (Vol. 1)

Charles Leonard-Stuart, editor; George Jotham Hagar OCR'd text, digitized from a scanned copy. The embedded text layer's column-position data was unreliable on a large fraction of pages (causing entries from adjacent columns to interleave), so this edition was built instead from fresh image-based OCR: each page was split into its left and right column images and OCR'd separately to guarantee correct reading order. Blank plate backs were dropped; remaining full-page illustration plates are included as images rather than transcribed text, placed near the entries they originally appeared next to. This volume covers only part of the alphabet (A to roughly C); front matter and back matter were omitted. A pa was run to strip stray OCR noise picked up from inline illustrations; a little scattered noise, and occasional merged entries where the source OCR dropped a period, may still remain.
