You may also need to change the default font. As a last resort, use the Latin-1 version of the file. The text is based on scans of two different physical copies. In a few cases, the two versions have different spelling, or one has an error where the other does not. These are noted at the end of the file along with the general list of errors and an explanation of paragraph breaks. Superscripts are shown with carets: w^t, y^e. All pilcrows ¶ in the body text were added by the transcriber (see endnotes). The book was originally (1550) printed together with Richard Sherry’s _A Treatise of Schemes and Tropes_. Since the two texts have no connection except that Sherry is assumed to be the translator, they have been made into separate e-texts.] ¶ A treatise of Schemes & Tropes very profytable for the better vnderstanding of good authors, gathered out of the best Grammarians & Oratours by Rychard Sherry Lon doner.
