VOL. VI.

Hi sunt magistri qui nos instruunt sine virgis et ferula, sine verbis et colera,
sine pane et pecunia. Si accedis non dormiunt; si inquiris non se abscondunt;
non remurmurant si oberres; cachinnos nesciunt si ignores.

In order to finish the alphabet, it has been found expedient to add forty-eight pages to this volume; for as the seventh volume is to contain an account of translations, and a variety of miscellaneous bibliographical matters, it was thought best to complete the alphabet in this, in order to keep the whole body of the work by itself.

It may be necessary to inform the less experienced reader, that articles in this work are to be sought for under the names of their respective authors; yet sometimes when a work is well known by a particular title, under that title it is here introduced, e. g. the Zend Avesta is not described under Zoroaster, the reputed author, nor Anquetil du Perron, the translator, but under the article ZEND.

In some cases where a work belongs to a particular department of literature, it is necessarily mentioned under that department, though it has been described under the name of the author; but in general such recurrences are short, and referrences are made to the place where a particular account of the work is introduced.
