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 unless indicated below.

Notes associated with stanza numbers in Gray's Elegy follow the poem. All other footnotes were renumbered sequentially and were moved to the end of the book. Obvious printing errors, such as backwards, upside down, unprinted or partially printed letters, were corrected. Final stops missing at the end of sentences and abbreviations were added. Duplicate letters at line endings or page breaks were removed.

There are multiple anchors to Footnotes [2], [58], [61],] [62], [63], [64]. There were no anchors to Footnote [83] or [116]; anchors were added where they may belong.

Unprinted diacriticals were added to words in languages other than English. Quotation marks were adjusted to matched sets. Extraneous punctuation was deleted.
