Editorial note — ON WOOD ENGRAVING.
Reading edition
Inconsistent spellings were only regularized when there was a strong preponderance; changes are individually noted. The various spellings of the name now written “Shakespeare” are unchanged, as are the forms “Albert Durer” and “Gutemberg”. German citations consistently omit the period (full stop) in references such as “2 Theil”. Other unchanged forms include:
cross line : cross-line figuersnider : figursnider fore-/back-ground : fore/background type-founder : typefounder wood-cut : woodcut wood-engraver : wood engraver Schaufflein : Schäufflein
In the Index, missing or inconsistent punctuation was silently regularized. All other errors are noted in two ways: with mouse-hover popups where the error occurs, and again at the end of each chapter or section, after any footnotes.
