[1] This is a kind of Preamble to the Roll. A space is left for the initial word, intended to be afterwards written in red ink, and presumed to be Eis. _Fome_, the _lineola_ over it being either casually omitted, or since obliterated, means _form_, written Foume below, and in No. 195. [2] Cury. Cookery. We have adopted it in the Title. V. Preface. [3] ynglond. _E_ was intended to be prefixed in red ink. Vide Note [1] and [6]. [4] þ. This Saxon letter with the power of _th_, is used almost perpetually in our Roll and the Editor's Ms. Every one may not have adverted to it; but this character is the ground of our present abbreviations y'e the, y't that, y's this, &c. the y in these cases being evidently only an altered and more modern way of writing þ. [5] vyaund. This word is to be understood in the concrete, _quasi_ vyander, a curious epicure, an _Apicius_. V. Preface. |
