ERRATA.

Few Indian compositors understand the meaning of what they set up. Hence the correction of the press is attended with peculiar difficulties. Want of time prevents the Compiler from giving a list of Errata, which he regrets are numerous.

Still, the reader will be able to make out easily what is meant.
