+<! FILE: authors.lst -- a Supplement to:
+ Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary
+ Version published 1913
+ by the C. & G. Merriam Co.
+ Springfield, Mass.
+ Under the direction of
+ Noah Porter, D. D., LL. D.
+
+ comprising pages vii to xvi of that volume.
+
+NOTE: in the original printed volume, these authors were listed
+in three colums per page, each column also containing three subcolumns
+headed, respectively:
+ Quoted in dict. as
+ Names in full
+ Dates
+
+ For convenience in computerized processing, the three subcolumns
+corresponding to one entry were reorganized into paragraphs of three
+lines, separated from other entries by two carriage returns.
+The first line in each entry corresponds to "Quoted in dict. as";
+the last line of each entry corresponds to "Dates" (But where the date
+column was blank in the original, "ND" (NO date) appears in this list;
+the ND was not in the original dictionary); the second line corresponds
+to "Names in full"; but in some cases where two names are given in the
+entry, there are two lines corresponding to the "Names in full", and
+the date then appears on the fourth line of the entry. Where two
+names are given in the "Names in full", sometimes two sets of
+dates were given in the third column, one set for each author.
+In this list, the birth and death dates are always on the last
+line of each entry, and where two sets of dates are given, they
+correspond to the birth and death dates of the two authors,
+separated by a comma, and in the same order as the authors.
+ Where a single question mark appears after a date, this mark was
+present in the original dictionary and indicates uncertaintly about that
+date. WHere two question marks appear after a date, those question
+marks did not appear in the original dictionary, and this indicates
+that the date (usually the last digit) is undecipherable in the
+printed version, and the best guess is given.
