Transcriber's Notes
A. "The Graces"
On p. 2, extra quotation mark deleted in the phrase "speak distinctly
and gracefully" in footnote 1.
On page 7, "observe e'm all" has been amended to "observe 'em all".
On p. 21 The redundant double quotation mark after "_grandure_," has been
deleted.
B. "The Fine Gentleman's Etiquette"
These typos have been amended:
On p. 7, "supprose" has been amended to
"suppose".
On p. 20, "you hand" has been amended to "your hand".
This poem makes much use of quotation marks. It is not always certain
that they have been put in the correct place, but they have been left
unchanged.
In "The Fine Gentleman's Etiquette", there are two sets of footnotes.
One set, which contains references to Chesterfield's Letters, is
anchored with lower-case alphabetic characters, and placed after the
relevant paragraph. The second set is anchored with Arabic numerals and
placed at the end of the poem.
In footnote 4 the word "days" had "s" printed in reverse. This is now
printed the right way round.
