Act 5 — Footnotes
Reading edition
Transcriber’s Note
The footnote scheme used lettered references, repeating a-z. On numerous of occasions, letters were skipped or repeated. The resequencing of notes here resolves those lapses. Footnotes on occasion are themselves footnoted. For uniqueness, these are referenced as, for example, ‘35A’.
One unanchored footnote at p. 239 l. 10 was mentioned at the bottom of that page, glossing the word ‘precept’. That anchor has been added as 239.10.
An errata section was prepated by the Editor and included in this first volume, which provides additions and corrections to all five volumes in this set. The relevant sections will be repeated at the end of the Transcriber’s note of each subsequent volume.
Stage directions, except for entrances, can be:
in-line
in the middle of a line and delimited with ‘[ ]’,
end of line
right-justified on the same line where there is room, with only the leading ‘[’,
next line
right-justified on the following line, where there is insufficent room, with a hanging indent.
The same convention is followed here. Since this version is wider than the original, most directions are on the same line as the speech.
Other errors deemed most likely to be the printer’s have been corrected, and are noted here. The references are to the page and line in the original.
