FOOTNOTES:

[1]. The word, as written by Charlotte Polidori, seems to be "dole" rather than anything else. It looks as if she had copied the form of Dr. Polidori's word without understanding what it was. I substitute "door," but this is done faute de mieux.

[2]. Such is the word written by Charlotte Polidori. I fancy it ought to be "late."

[3]. Only an initial is written, "M": but I suppose "Master"—i.e. Michael Wohlgemuth—is meant.

[4]. It seems rather odd that Polidori should make this jotting, "and (not) towns." Perhaps he aimed to controvert the phrase, "scattered cities crowning these," in Byron's poem quoted further on.

[5]. These are the precise words as they stand in Charlotte Polidori's transcript. It is to be presumed that Dr. Polidori wrote them some while after May 13, 1816.

[6]. I don't understand "Mayor" in this context: should it be "Mylor"?
