Transcriber's Notes
A. "The Graces"
On p. 2, extra quotation mark deleted in the phrase "speak distinctly and gracefully" in footnote 1.
On page 7, "observe e'm all" has been amended to "observe 'em all".
On p. 21 The redundant double quotation mark after "grandure" has been deleted.
B. "The Fine Gentleman's Etiquette"
These typos have been amended:
On p. 7, "supprose" has been amended to "suppose".
On p. 20, "you hand" has been amended to "your hand".
This poem makes much use of quotation marks. It is not always certain that they have been put in the correct place, but they have been left unchanged.
In "The Fine Gentleman's Etiquette", there are two sets of footnotes. One set, which contains references to Chesterfield's Letters, is anchored with lower-case alphabetic characters, and placed after the relevant paragraph. The second set is anchored with Arabic numerals and placed at the end of the poem.
In footnote 4 the word "days" had "s" printed in reverse. This is now printed the right way round.
