Transcriber's Notes: This text retains many old and inconsistent
spellings as found in the Dodsley 1769 edition. Differences from that
edition are as follows: As is usually done in modern editions of Emily
Montague, the letters have been renumbered to run consecutively from 1
to 228. This avoids irregularities in numbering in the original. Normal
case has been used for the initial words of each letter. Long s has been
replaced with a regular short s. The Errata which appeared at the end of
volume four of the original has been applied to the text. Various other
corrections have been made, and in each case, the original form has been
recorded in the html markup. Usage of quote marks has been modernized.
