Text size

James Roberts) A booke" was changed to "July 22, 1598. (James Roberts) A booke".

_Much Ado About Nothing_

II. 3. 100: the printed line number was misplaced, one down; moved it up.

_Love's Labour's Lost_

V. 2. 917: the linenotes printed for lines 912 and 913 actually refer to lines 917 and 918; the text herein has been altered to this effect.

V. 1. 37: the word "honorificabilitudinitatibus" was retained in original form, broken over two lines, with a hyphen between "bi" and "li" In the mobile versions, available from Project Gutenberg, this word has been rejoined.

_Midsummer-Night's Dream_

III. 2. 204: the original linenote here erroneously said "See note III", but is herein corrected to Note V.

IV. 1. 1: the linenote here erroneously said "See note (V)", herein altered to VI.

IV. 1. 7-8: the linenote is changed from "See note VI" to "See note VII".

V. 1. 0: the linenote "Enter...] see note (VIII)." was originally indented under linenote 40 of IV. 2 (the last linenote of the scene), but clearly refers to the beginning of V. 1, where it has been placed.

V. 1. 105: the line number was misplaced, up one line. It has been moved to the line "In least speak...".

V. 1. 139: the linenote said "conjectures th a line"; herein changed "th " to "that".

Play Note II: "andhe" changed to "and he".

Play Note XIII: the reference is to lines V. 1. 408, 409, changed from "406, 407".

_Merchant of Venice_

IV, 1. 74: in the printed linenote there is a smudge and something missing between "bleat" and "the" in Hanmer's rendering. Furthermore, the presumed "t" in "bleat" is not clearly printed and may be something else, perhaps a "c". The transcriber renders this phrase "_When you behold the ewe bleat for the lamb;_ Hanmer.", but there is significant doubt about it.

Play Note XIV: the reference is changed from IV. 1. 210 to IV. 1. 209.

_As You Like It_

Play Note V: "I. 2. 181" changed to "I. 2. 187".

Addenda

These two linenotes have been copied to their appropriate locations amongst the linenotes.
