Transcriber’s Note:
This book was written in a period when many words had not become standardized in their spelling. Words may have multiple spelling variations or inconsistent hyphenation in the text. These have been left unchanged except indicated below.
Footnotes were renumbered sequentially and were moved to the end of the book. Obvious printing errors, such as backwards, upside down, or partially printed letters and punctuation, were corrected. Unprinted letters, punctuation and final stops missing at the end of sentences and abbreviations were added. Commas were changed to stops at ends of sentences and abbreviations. Duplicate words and letters at line endings and page breaks were removed. Quotation marks were adjusted to match as pairs.
In the Table of Contents, Part 24 was moved from Volume III. to Volume II. Where there was a difference in punctuation, accents, hyphenation, etc. between the index entry and the poem text, the index entry was adjusted to match that of the poem. Unprinted page numbers were added to the index.
There are three anchors to Footnote [5], two anchors to Footnote [8], and two anchors to Footnote [49].
[A TALE OF THE TENTH HUSSARS] and its parody were printed on facing pages across a page break. The end of each poem was rejoined to its beginning. Likewise, Swinburne's [The Question] and [The Answer] were printed on facing columns across several pages. Each poem was presented in its entirety followed by its parody.
