The internal title page was changed from
[Sloane MS. 73, fol. 10. Brit, Mus.]
The superfluous “e” and the comma after “Brit” appear to be the only
typographical errors in the book.

Each page of body text was surrounded by the following:

Top of Page:
Synopsis of page contents. This e-text preserves the page breaks and
line divisions of the 1866/1889 book.

Inner Margin:
Line numbers in increments of 4, used for Index.

Bottom of Page:
Footnotes, originally numbered from 1 on each page.

Outer Margin:
Side footnotes: Identified by asterisk rather than by number. In this
e-text they are printed directly below the referring line, in the same
way as page-bottom footnotes.

Folio number: Marked with an asterisk at the exact point of page break.
It appears to be mere coincidence that the text of folio (leaf) 26 was
printed on page 26 of the 1889 book.

Marginal notations: These are described in the “P.S.” of the editor’s
introduction.

Subheads: Printed in italics, with horizontal lines above and below.
