Notes

See William M. Sale, Jr., Samuel Richardson: A Bibliographical Record of His Literary Career with Historical Notes (1936), p. 48.
John Carroll, ed. Selected Letters of Samuel Richardson (1964), pp. 86-87. Richardson to Aaron Hill, 10 May 1748.
Although problems of spelling, abbreviation, etc. are not usually attributed to the author, the problem is more complex in this instance. Richardson was both author and printer, and given his remarkable thoroughness in revising, I seriously doubt that he did not have a hand in these matters as well.
