TRANSCRIBER'S NOTE

Obvious typographical errors and punctuation errors have been corrected after careful comparison with other occurrences within the text and consultation of external sources.

The phrases [ 't is ] and [ 'T is ] in quotations in the original text have been retained, and not changed to the modern contracted form of 'tis and 'Tis.

Except for those changes noted below, all misspellings in the text, and inconsistent or archaic usage, have been retained.

[Pg 9], 'his loving brother Richard' has been retained though this is factually incorrect. His brother was Edward (king Edward IV.)

[Pg 226], { and } bracketing has been removed from the declension table, and the two vertical text headings have been made horizontal.

[Pg 243], 'stage requisities' replaced by 'stage requisites'.
[Index:] 'Grammar Sehool' replaced by 'Grammar School'.
