 (Gueneau de Montbeillard, who had been entrusted with 

 the work, died before lie could carry out his mission).

 signed. Olivier took up the systematic portion of the

[Note. — "M. Olivier, oblige de s'absenter pendant 

 plusieurs annees pour remplir dans le Levant une mission 

 de Gouvernement, reprend ici la redaction de ce Diction- 

 naire, qui avoit ete confide a d'autres personnes depuis la 

 lettre L." That is to say, from vol. vii. p. 601 to vol. viii. 

 p. 45 (on M'hich page is the note quoted). As B. E. 

 Manuel signed the last page of vol. vii. and the article 

 so signed was not completed, it is probable that he was 

 the chief person to whom the work was entrusted.]
