3. Alternative spellings have been left unchanged. This includes words in poetry such as "ravish'd" for "ravished", words sometimes hyphenated, and the various spellings of painters' names (there are at least four different spellings of Michelangelo, and three of chiar'oscuro, for example).
4. Chapter headings (in chapters II, VIII, XIII and XV) vary slightly from the wording of the Table of Contents. These variants have been left unchanged, with one exception: the date 1703 in the heading for Chapter II has been corrected to 1763.
