| Transcriber's Note: The following notation |
| is used for special phonetic characters: |
| |
| [c] = "c" with slash (cent sign) |
| [.h] = "h" with superior dot |
| ['s] = "s" with acute accent |
| [k], [t] = inverted "k", "t" |
| [n] = superscript "n" |
| [=e], [=n] = "e", "n" with superior macron |
| [)e], [)i] = "e", "i" with superior breve |
| |
| In this plain ASCII version, other accented |
| characters have not been so encoded; e.g., |
| "abbe" has lost its acute accent. |
| |
| The verses in the section on GESTURES OF ACTORS |
| are loosely quoted from "The Rosciad" by |
| Charles Churchill, which more accurately reads: |
| |
| "... When to enforce some very tender part, |
| The right hand slips by instinct on the heart, |
| His soul, of every other thought bereft, |
| Is anxious only where to place the left;..." |
