Transcriber's Note

This book contains many instances of ſ (long s), which have been retained, though its use is not necessarily consistent.

Some joining m-dashes (—) have been changed to hyphens (-).

Page 3: "For I fynde many of the sayd bookes, whyche wry- | ters haue abrydgyd it and many thynges left out, And in | so[~m]e place haue sette certayn versys, that he neuer made ne sette | in hys booke,..."

An image from the book has been used for m-tilde instead of code "& # 771;", as the code scrambles the text in the Kindle mobile version, and EPub (mobile) gives it as a square with an X inside.

image:

"... And in | so

e place haue sette...."

code:

"... And in | som̃e place haue sette...."

Page 16: 'trust' has twice appeared on this page as 'trust', instead of the expected 'truſt'. It may have been deliberate, and has been retained.

"thoſe yet whom he left in trust to diſpoſe his things after...."

"and the rather to anſwere that trust which the deceaſſed repoſed in me,..."

Page 20: 'fyrst' has been retained.

"as the fyrst part doth of other mens," ... ... "wurthy wittes to enterpryſe and performe the reſt."

Sometimes, w was printed as vv (and W as VV). This has also been retained.

Page 36: 'christopher Barker' is as printed.

"... christopher Barker, Printer to the Queenes moſt excellent Maieſtie."

Page 36: Decorative 'A', or SA monogram?

"... and there are two large pictorial initials at the beginning signed A."

(also on Page 38)

Page 42: 'χαριsńgιον' corrected to 'χαριϛήριον' [Greek: Charistêrion].

Page 60: 'Cambridgl' corrected to 'Cambridge'.

"24. The | Temple. | [Four lines] By Mr. George Herbert. | [Quotation] Cambridge | Printed by Thom. Buck, | and Roger Daniel, printers | to the Univerſitie. | 1633."

Page 63: 'fory' corrected to 'ſory'

"I am ſory that I muſt deceive you; but you will not...."

Page 90: 'MBurg.' and 'MBurghers', with M and B close together - a monogram?

"... is signed "delin MBurg. ſculp. Univ. Ox.," in the first two volumes, and "delin MBurghers ſculpt, Univ. Ox. 1704," in the third,..."

Page 90: "A portrait of Clarendon, occurs as a frontispiece in each of the three volumes." ... either extraneous comma after 'Clarenden' or missing comma after 'portrait'. Extraneous comma removed for clarity.

Page 94: 'ſumum' corrected to 'fumum'

"Non fumum ex fulgore, ſed ex fumo dare lucem"

Page 118: "... they received 23s. a week, which he agreed to raise to 2l. 2s., not, it is to be hoped, out of the 1,575l."

l. = £ (pound/pounds); so, "... they received 23 shillings a week, which he agreed to raise to £2. 2s. (2 pounds 2shillings, or 42 shillings), not, it is to be hoped, out of the £1575 (1,575 pounds)."

Page 226: 'surprising' corrected to 'surprizing' to match title, and other index entry

"Robinson Crusoe. The Life And Strange Surprizing Adventures Of, 97, 98"
