The battles of the world

The original Table on page 215 was very wide, and has been split into two parts; the first column has been duplicated in the second part.

The ANCIENT CHRONOLOGY Table on page 450 has an abbreviation P. This has been marked with an asterisk and a note (not a footnote) placed under the Table ‘* P = Period.’, in the same manner as the original text.

Two items in the CHRONOLOGICAL TABLE which starts on page 451 were out of sequence and have been moved to the correct place; 1097 has been moved above 1098, and 1207 has been moved above 1208.

Except for those changes noted below, all misspellings in the text, and inconsistent or archaic usage, have been retained: for example, hill-side, hill side, hillside; head-quarters, head quarters, headquarters; daybreak, day-break; punctilios; Affghan; cimetars; inclosed; rhetorician; debouching.
