Punctuation, hyphenation, and spelling were made consistent when a predominant preference was found in this book; otherwise they were not changed. Spelling of non-English and old-English words not changed. Simple typographical errors were corrected; occasional unbalanced quotation marks retained. Ambiguous hyphens at the ends of lines were retained. Text sometimes spells “Althorp” as “Althorpe”; both have been retained here. Index not checked for proper alphabetization or correct page references, except for reference to page 385, which has been corrected to 358. Page 254: Letters with overbars (such as u) indicate contractions. Page 254: “(to the issu” has no matching closing parenthesis. Page 270: “Six purse hangers of siver and gilt” was printed that way. Page 327: “Prince Arthur, younger brother of Henry VIII” is incorrect: Arthur was the older brother. Page 341: “Fox” may be a misprint for “Foxe”. Page 364 refers to “Ross” and then “Rowe”; may be the same person. Footnote 310, originally on page 342: The correct title of “Messager des ScÉnes Historiques” is “Messager des Sciences Historiques”. Page 364: The elegy, written in Latin, apparently contains several typographical errors. They have not been changed here, but readers may wish to consult other versions of that elegy, such as the one at https://books.google.de/books?id=upwNAAAAQAAJ&pg=PA190. Page 372: Left parenthesis added in the “Warwick, John, Earl of,” entry, just before “the Duke of Northumberland’s son”. Footnote 98, originally on page 103: “gratias ego” may be a misspelling for “gratias ago”. |
