Note 127 — ADDITIONS AND CORRECTIONS[126]

Reading edition

Mild Mary is an appellation which occurs elsewhere (as in No 91 E), and Mary Hamilton and Mary mild are interchangeable in X. It is barely worth remarking that Myle, Moil, in C, S, are merely varieties of pronunciation, and Miles in W, an ordinary kind of corruption.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
