Transcriber’s Note
There are quite a few instances of missing punctuation. The conventional period following the character’s name is sometimes missing and has been added for consistency’s sake without further comment. Those missing from setting and stage direction are also added without comment, since there is no obvious purpose to be served by the omission. However, the restoration of punctuation missing from dialogue is noted below, since the punctuation can be expressive. Several instances of dubious ‘?’ marks have been corrected, based on context.
A line at [45.22] ends with no punctuation, which could plausibly be either an exclamation or a question mark. A stage direction at [93.10] ends with an exclamation which perhaps should be a colon. A line at [362.9] also ends with no punction which could be a full stop or exclamation. A line at [172.18] lacks punctuation should be a full stop or exclamation. At line [362.13] punctuation could be also be a full top of exclamation.
Volume I of this series included errata for each succeeding volume, and noted the following for Volume X. Each of these was corrected in printing.
Other errors deemed most likely to be the printer’s have been corrected, and are noted here. The references are to the page and line in the original.
