SCHOOLS IN MEDIÆVAL ENGLAND. By A. F. LEACH THE MEDIÆVAL HOSPITALS OF ENGLAND. By MISS ROTHA M. CLAY OLD ENGLISH INSTRUMENTS OF MUSIC. By F. W. GALPIN, M.A., F.L.S METHUEN & CO., 36 ESSEX STREET, LONDON, W.C TRANSCRIBER’S NOTES Original printed spelling and grammar are retained, with a few exceptions noted below. Illustrations have been moved from their original locations to nearby places between paragraphs. Footnotes have been renumbered 1–479, and changed to endnotes. Original italics _look like this_. Original small caps are all capitals. Text originally printed in boldface are all capitals in this simple text format edition. The original LIST OF ILLUSTRATIONS and LIST OF PLATES were formatted in loose tabular form. These have been converted to list form, with ellipses suggesting the original columns. The word “ditto” was replaced by repeated text. Ditto marks were used extensively in the original Appendix B, and in the Bibliography. The original intended scope of these marks is often questionable, and would be even more so if they were to be retained in an ebook. Therefore, ditto marks are replaced with repeated text. Likewise, large curly brackets “{” meant to show grouping of text on multiple lines have been eliminated. In a few places, e.g. page 298, the glyphs “┌” and “└” were employed to indicate multiple-line grouping in lieu of large brackets. A few of the tables of Appendix B were printed without column headings because the headings could be inferred from another table printed on the same page. Herein, each table has been provided with column headings. Tables that were continued from one page to another are herein combined. The Bibliography was printed in tabular form, but is herein converted to list format, with ellipses indicating the original columns. The original printed index employed white space at the beginning of a line to indicate distinct subtopics under a topic heading; for instance subtopics St. Chad, St. George, and St. Giles, under heading Shrewsbury. In this edition, em dashes have been substituted for the initial spaces. The original index already employed em dashes to indicate repetition of a first word in several distinct topics. For instance, topics “Hugh, St., — Foliot, — Garth, — D’Orivalle, and — Pudsey”. These em dashes have been retained. Page 154. Removed unmatched double quotation mark from the end of the first paragraph. Page 168. Added right double quotation mark to the phrase ‘who for a time “ate nothing that had suffered death’. Page 236. There is a glyph that has no unicode point. Herein, “[~c]” designates a latin small letter c with tilde above.
