Transcriber's note:

Obvious typographical errors have been silently corrected. All other hyphenation, spelling and punctuation remains unchanged, except where noted below.

The errata have been implemented.

Words are often conjoined in the original, apparently to save space. This has been corrected.

The illustration within the paragraph under Hooks has been reproduced approximately. The vertical should slope to the right. Many entries are accompanied by an illustration without captions. These have not been indicated, but the captions of the entries for Masts and Sparrs are included.
