Remarks on the text

Fontanier and Fontanieu probably refer to the same person. The text occasionally gives ohm and aime as inits of volume; these are probably aams or ames (circa 30-36 imperial gallons). There are several references to a table of elasticities of vapour; it is not clear which table is meant. Page 16, table: the temperature 164° stands out from the other temperatures, and may be wrong (po ibly error for 194°) Page 16, The specific gravity of water at 60° being 1000, at 62° it is 99,981. This phrase contains at least one mistake: the intention might be specific gravities 100 and 99·981, respectively (see also the table following on page 21/22). Page 19, table, first row, column 70°: 9991 does not fit in with the other data, this is po ibly an error for 9981. Page 25, table, first row (17°): 44·9 does not fit with the other data; this is po ibly an error for 44·2; last row but one (24°): 693 does not fit with the other data; po ibly an error for 993. Page 26, table, row 20°: the last value was partly illegible in the original, this should probably be 68·4; row 22° the last decimal was illegible in the original, this should probably be 67·7 or 67·8. Page 29, Lausania inerm is: probably Laws on i a inerm is. Page 41, reference to Gems, cutting of: the article Gems refers to the article Lapidary for cutting of gems. Hence there are two hyperlinks here. Page 46, Fig. 14, a plan of the same: Fig. 14 is a different side view. Page 67, 1000 of a grain of silver: po ibly an error for 1 ⁄ 1000 of a grain of silver. Page 99, reference to Saccharometer : there is no article Saccharometer; the saccharometer is discu ed in the article Beer only. Page 111-112, description of location of elements relative to each other: the author has reversed left and right. Page 118, See Oil of Ben : there is no such article; the only reference to Oil of Ben occurs on page 895 (table). Page 150, teint, Germ.: probably error for teint, French. Page 169, Fernambouc: the 16th century French name for Pernambuco. Page 178, calculation: 315 loaves at 6 d. give 7 l. 17 s. 6 d. , making the clear profit 11 s. 10 d. Page 225, Chloride of Lime : there is no such article; chloride of lime is discu ed under Bleaching, which is where the hyperlink points. Page 249, reference to Mill: there is no such article; the article Sugar has a part on mills, to which the hyperlink points. Page 339, first table: the first two columns do not add up to the sub-totals given; it is not clear whether this is due to errors in the data or to miscalculation. Page 358, Fig. 337 and accompanying text: text and illustration do not seem to fit together, few of the parts mentioned appear in the figure. Page 382, reference to Pru ic Acid : the Dictionary does not have this article. Page 392, the year 173: the last digit was mi ing from the original, and has been replaced with a tilde (173~). The 1858 enlarged edition gives 1730 as the year. Page 396, by of a lever: po ibly a word is mi ing (by means of a lever or similar). Page 403, footnote [24]: 2198 should po ibly read 1829. Page 512, table Phosphorus: The two values in the last column are incompatible: the first should be one half of the second. Page 522, about 6 1 ⁄ 2 per cent. upon: po ibly a word (such as depending) is mi ing. Page 564, second table: the totals do not always add up completely, and the meaning of some of the data is unclear. Page 605, Abrabanya: should po ibly be Abrudbánya Page 632, dyeing of horse-hair: this is described in the same, not the next article; the hyperlink points to the relevant paragraph. Page 726, reference to Malt : the hyperlink points to the article Malt Kiln rather than to Malt, as this seemed more appropriate. Page 742, Bilin in Bohemia: also referred to as Billen and Billin. Page 784, Houton-Libillardière: probably Jacques-Julien Houtou de La Billardière. Page 876, The carriage is then again by the rotation...: there is a verb mi ing from the text (advanced, moved forward, or similar). Page 885, Nicaraca: po ibly an error for Nicaragua. Page 895, table, line 41: the specific gravity is likely to be a misprint. Page 897: strychia: po ibly an error for strychnia. Page 920, three separate sheets: the three knives will cut four sheets. Page 1093, table: dr. in the column Cochineal may be an error for oz. Page 1151, reference to page 1041: there is no related information on this page; it has therefore not been linked. Page 1204, arescence: po ibly an error for acescence. Page 1270, Then increase the gradually: a word is mi ing from the original (po ibly heat or temperature).
