(French and Scottish), errors in editorial punctuation have been
corrected, while other apparent errors are noted but not changed. For
the French text, it was assumed that Skeat’s word “commas” includes
“inverted commas” or quotation marks._
_The form “reflective” (for “reflexive”) is used consistently._
_In the primary text, the following unexpected forms are not
individually noted:_
capital I at mid-sentence or mid-word

non-initial v; initial u
word-final ſß (apparent “sss”)
