p. [99]Footnote [112] (‘Ibid.’) had no anchor in the text, but, based on the passages in Reliquiæ Wottonianæ referred to in the prior note, the quoted text would seem to end near the bottom of the page, and has been added there.
p. [105]There is a anchor to a footnote [119] at ‘benefited his family more than himself.[119]’ which does not appear on the page. The same anchor appears on p. [107] along with a footnote using the same number. The dubious anchor has been removed.
p. [152]Footnote [169] had no anchor in the text, but refers to the
quoted passage. An anchor ([169])has been added at that point.

The two spellings of the modern Hurstpierpoint, ‘Hurst-pierre-point’ and ‘Hurst-per-point’, are retained, though the second hyphen in the latter occurs on a line break.

The text ends with a list of errata which covers many of the issues listed at the end of this note. The intent of this list has been honored, and the indicated changes made. Links are provided to the corresponding item in that list.

The first items of the errata would seem to correct the spelling of the home of the Villiers from ‘Brokesby’ to ‘Brookesby’. There are two more instances that were not mentioned, which have been corrected as well.

Errors deemed most likely to be the printer’s have been corrected, and are noted here. Given the frequent quotations, it was inevitable that opening and closing quotation marks would sometimes be lost. They are placed here where the context or voice makes their position obvious, or where an inspection of the original sources was possible and allowed for the proper punctuation.

The paragraph beginning on p. [147] ends with a closing quotation mark. There is no obvious point at which that quotation might begin. The mark is retained, in any case.

On p. [338], the sentence ending with a reference to note [403] includes a closing quotation mark, which has no corresponding open. The note references State Papers, vol. cxxxix, No. 16, which seems to be an error. The topic can be found discussed in State Papers, vol. cxliv, No. 16,, but only the phrases quoted earlier can be found there. The closing quotation marks seems an error.

On p. [339], continuing on p. [340] there is an long paraphrased passage from Reliquiæ Wottonianæ., p. 213, which would seem to end at ‘Lieutenant of Dover Castle’. The closing quotation mark has been added there.

The references are to the page and line in the original. Where three numbers are referenced, the second refers to a note on that page, and the third to the line therein.
