I have made no spelling corrections whatsoever. In the poems, the spelling is very inconsistent, with several different versions of a word being used in different places
OTHER PROBLEMS WITH THE TEXT:
In a few places, the capital 'V' and 'I' characters were used where we would use a capital 'U' of 'J' instead. These have not been changed. For example, Vnlese, Iuvenal. Where the capitals in the original text were used to highlight the first word of a poem, 'V' was changed to 'v', for example, OVR became Ovr.
The copy of the book which I worked from had been re-bound on several occasions. It is possible that the 'Table of Contents' was originally placed after the introduction.
CHANGES TO THE TEXT:
Symbols for British currency are changed to <pounds>, <shillings>, and <pence>.
In several places the word 'the' appears with an accent mark over the 'e'. The accent is in the form of a horizontal line above the letter. This word has been rendered as '<thee>'. Similarly 'whe' with an accent over the 'e' is rendered as '<whee>'.
