Use the one that works best with your text reader. --In the UTF-8 version, quotation marks and apostrophes are “curly”. Long s (see below) is shown as printed, and the “œ” ligature is a single character. --In the Latin-1 version, quotation marks and apostrophes have the straight or “typewriter” form. Long s is shown in brackets as [s], and “œ” is two characters. The “æ” ligature is a single letter, and the paragraph mark ¶ is shown as printed. --In the ASCII or rock-bottom version, “æ” is two letters, and the paragraph mark is shown as the word “Par.” Text originally printed in blackletter (“Gothic”) type is shown between *asterisks*. The original book (printed in 1890) used long “s” (ſ) throughout. This has been retained only for title pages and similar decorative text. Missing spaces, punctuation--chiefly quotation marks--and single letters are shown in {braces}. Other typographic errors are listed at the end of the e-text, but are unchanged in the body text. Word-initial “u” and medial “v” are in the original. Square brackets [] in the body text are in the original. Volumes I and II of this work are available from Project Gutenberg as e-texts 20241 and 34053.] * * * * * * * * * * * * * * THE PALACE OF PLEASURE VOL.
