Pleaze to respect my orþography--a _beginning_ to a better system--if you
can and will. Ðe types required will only be ðe Ð, ð, and Þ, þ, ov our
noble Anglo-Saxon moðer-tongue, letterz in common use almost down to ðe
time ov _Shakspeare_!

If you _will_ not be charmed, ov course you are at liberty to change it.

I have a large work in ðe press (translationz from ðe A.-Saxon) printed
entirely in ðis orþography.

[Even our respect for Mr. Stephens' well-known scholarship, fails to
remove our prejudices in favour of the ordinary system of orthography.]

_On a Passage in "The Tempest"_ (Vol. ii., pp. 259. 299. 337.).--Will you
allow me to suggest that the reading of the original edition is perfectly
correct as it stands, as will be seen by simply italicising the emphatic
words:--

"_Most_ busie _least_, when I doe it."

The construction is thus merely an instance of a common ellipsis (here of
the word _busy_), and requires the comma after _least_. This is another
proof of the advantage of being slow to abandon primitive texts.
