Transcriber's Note

Numeration Errors in the Hesperides:

Errors in the numbering system, despite the corrections mentioned in the [NOTE TO SECOND EDITION], still exist in the original text. A clear example is shown by [569. UPON ELECTRA'S TEARS] ending Vol. I, whilst Vol. II begins with [569. A HYMN TO THE GRACES]. When the poems within the [APPENDIX OF EPIGRAMS] are considered, more errors in the numeration system become apparent. For an explanation of how these discrepancies have been handled see the Transcriber's Endnotes in [Vol. I] and [Vol. II].
