NOTES.
The Notes come immediately after their respective stories; see detailed Table of Contents, below. The heading has been retained for completeness.
Printed by A. H. Bullen, at the Shakespeare Head Press, Stratford-upon-Avon.
[ Transcriber’s Notes]
Errors
Typographical errors were corrected only when unambiguous (“Symrna”), or when the expected spelling occurs many times in the book. A few variable forms such as “handsom : handsome” are unchanged. In the Notes, the abbreviation “cf.” is always lower-case.
Unless otherwise noted, quotation marks are as printed.
Arrangement of Editor’s Notes
In the printed book, all notes were grouped at the end of the volume. For this e-text, they have been placed after their respective stories.
The Notes as printed give only page numbers. Links leading directly to the cited text were added by the transcriber. Annotated passages are identified in the body text with [grey underlining].
Where appropriate, cross-references from other volumes of the Complete Works are quoted after the Notes. The “N.E.D.” (New English Dictionary) is now known as the OED.
