All alterations in manuscripts made during the course of writing and of revision that have not previously been shown in the Historical Collation are recorded here. The medium is black ink, except for a few revisions in blue ink by AT in MS3.

The lemmata—readings to the left of the bracket—are those of the Eversley Edition

185

and ordinarily represent agreement of book and manuscript. To permit condensed entries, however, in a few instances a single dagger (†) prefixed to the line reference warns the user to refer to the Historical Collation for the exact manuscript reading when it is not precisely that of the lemma or has not been specified in the descriptive part of the entry.

The use of three dots in quoted descriptions to the right of the bracket indicates ellipsis rather than the existence of dots in a manuscript. Otherwise, all entries follow the bibliographical rule that material within single quotes is cited exactly as it appears in the original document. For other conventions of descriptions of alterations, see the headnote to the Historical Collation.
