PRINTED BY WILLIAM CLOWES AND SONS, LIMITED, LONDON AND BECCLES.

Transcriber's Note:

- - signifies italic text; = = signifies Old English text;
^ or ^{} signifies a superscript.
[=] signifies a letter with a macron (straight line over) accent;
[~] signifies a letter with a tilde over, sometimes indication an
omitted letter.

The footnotes, originally marked with asterisks and daggers, have
been numbered in the text version.

The spelling is not necessarily consistent. The Author appears to
have updated some of the originals, but quoted directly from
others. Errors persist, and most have not been corrected by the
transcriber. It seemed best to retain original sentence
structure, spelling, and punctuation. (e.g. 'No sooner had
Faustus sent his name to the writing,...' for 'No sooner had
Faustus set his name to the writing,...')

The 18th century had no spelling or punctuation rules. Acceptable
variants have been retained. Before about 1860-70 (and the various
Victorian Public Instruction Acts) apostrophes were often absent.

(e.g. brethren/bretheren; Pharoh/Pharaoh/Pharoah; 'youll' for
you'll; fathers for father's).

Sundry missing or damaged punctuation has been repaired, but only
apparent printer's errors have been corrected:

Page 120: 'eady' corected to 'ready'.

"they made ready to receive them;"

Page 140: '=Guy. Earl of Warwick=' Period is as clearly printed in
large Old English type; retained.

Page 150: 'solilude' retained. An error, or variant, for
'soliloquy'? 'solitude' doesn't seem to fit the context.

"While Guy was in this repenting solilude,..." Perhaps solilude is
a made-up word for a state of soliloquising.

Page 164: extra 'to' removed (at original line break)

"/ On a tyme he came to the prouynce of Lybye to [to] a cyte which
is sayd Sylene /"

Page 174: 'pheasants' corrected to 'peasants' (though 'pheasants'
may perhaps be correct).

"and peopled with the best sort of gentry and peasants.

Page 196: 'hirting' perhaps 'hurting', connected to 'bate' (bait)
later in sentence.

Page 338: 'downstars' corrected to 'downstairs'.

"and ran downstairs for more liquor,"

Page 354: 'Ill' for 'I'll'. Retained. Apostrophes were often notable
by their absence.
