...of his motive"--Quoted from the _Gentleman's Magazine_ of June, 1838.
There is no corresponding opening quote, and one is not added here.
Ellipses are used (pp. [258], [262–263], [290]), to elide a name. They have been rendered as long dashes here. There is also the phrase “when I—— took me by surprise” which may well be a mistake for ‘J——’, which was used just above. The ‘I’ has been retained as printed.
The following special situations are noted:
| [p. 79] | I did not set much value.[”] | Added missing closing quote. |
| [p. 83] | ‘When shall we have Buonaparte?[”/’] | Corrected closing quote. |
| [p. 115] | was as favourable to the book as could be expected.[”] | Closing quote has no mate. |
| [p. 133] | Closing bracket of n1 is missing. | Added. |
| [p. 134] [n87] | Make my best respects when you write.[87] | Added missing footnote number. |
| [p. 308] | An extended dash has been shortened here to ‘——’. | |
| [p. 322] | tVol. I, p. 97.[—]The | Added to match style just above. |
Spelling, hyphenation and typographical errors
There are also very occasional typographical errors that have been corrected. Any variants in spelling or hyphenation have been retained. Where the sole instance of a hyphenation occurs at end-of-line, modern usage has been applied.
| [p. 130] | withou[t] | Added. |
| [p. 329] | Golden Book of Coleridge | Entire title should be in italics. Retained. |
