Eighteenth-century idiosyncrasies of spelling, punctuation and capitalisation have been retained. The [oe] ligature has been simplified to "oe". In the Scottish poems "Prologue to Sir David Lyndesay's Dream" and "Hardyknute", the letter "z" has been used by the original editor to represent the letter "yogh". The variants "aereal" and "aerial", "All-powerful" and "All-pow'rful", "far-famd" and "far-fam'd", "noontide" and "noon-tide", "Phebus", "Phæbus" and "Phoebus", "upland" and "up-land", "woodman" and "wood-man" appear in this text. The poem "A Love-Elegy, by Mr. Hammond" begins on page 57, not 47 (as given in the Table of Contents). The incorrect page number has been retained in the Table of Contents. On p. 4 quotation marks are missing after "Queen!" but the text has been left unchanged. On p. 69 there should perhaps be closing quotation marks after "print the ground" and "his father and his God" but the text has been left unchanged. On p. 79 the stanza numbering goes from XXI to XXIII in mid-page. On p. 107 there should perhaps be closing quotation marks after "be but good!" but the text has been left unchanged. On p. 115 the line "Is this, he cries, the trumpet's warlike sound?" has been left unchanged, although quotation marks appear to be missing before and after "he cries". On p. 134 closing quotation marks appear to be missing after "commands" but the text has been left unchanged. On p. 144 stanza number XXXVIII is incorrectly given as XXXXVIII. The following amendments have been made: p. 7: missing hyphen inserted in "Flower-de-lyce"; p. 16: "reluctant crouds" amended to "reluctant clouds"; p. 64: repeated "shall" deleted in "My sympathizing verse shall flow"; p. 95: extra comma removed after "swain"; p. 100: "votaties" amended to "votaries"; p. 109: after "ESQ" comma changed to full stop; p. 114: "mounts" changed to "mount".
