Punctuation is not necessarily consistent, is not always present, and sometimes occurs where we would not expect it (e.g. 'the price of .ii. Shyllynges the piece'; '.xiii Articles'; 'and before the yere ,M,iiiiC, and .ix', etc.). A colon (:) was sometimes used instead of a full stop. Apostrophes were sometimes conspicuous by their absence (e.g. 'Le Morte Darthur' for 'Le Morte D'Arthur'), and opened brackets were not always closed. There are some instances of quotations enclosed in double quotes nested inside quotations similarly enclosed in double quotes, leading to the occasional paragraph ending in ."" This would appear to have been the printing style of the time, and has been retained.
The Author has included a list of corrections on Page [221], at the end of the book and before the Index.
These corrections have been implemented, as listed.
The rest of the Transcriber's Note is at the [end] of the book.
