TEXTUAL NOTES.

CHAP. I.
A. The ensuing passages not in brackets constitute the entire first half
of a character of " Daniel, Earl of Nottingham "found in the Brit.
Mus. among the Harleian MSS., 7034, pp. 440-1. This character
is one of four found in the same MS., all four of which are subse-
quently incorporated in their entirety into the text of The Conduct.
The original reading of this transcript, as found in the original MS.,
has been set within a framework of emendations on the part of the
editor. These emendations, indicated by square brackets, as has al-
ready been explained in the editor's introduction, have been de-
signed primarily to clarify and also to coördinate the text of the
various MSS. used in compiling the complete text of The Conduct.
Thus, in order to discover the original reading of any single MS.
used, it is only necessary to omit all passages set off in brackets.
This practise has been carefully followed in the case of every single
MS. employed in compiling the present text. Every word of the
originals has thereby been preserved in the present volume, either
in the text itself, or else, in certain cases (always carefully indi-
cated), in the textual notes. Where a MS. has not been reproduced
in its entirety, the reasons for such an omission are discussed in the
textual notes or in the introduction.
B. The following quotation is from Finch, Disc. on Peace, f. 1, lines
1-37.
C. Following is from Harl., 7034, pp. 442-443.
D. Following is from Finch, Disc. on Peace, f. 1, line 37-f. 2, line 23.
E. Following is from Finch, Notes on MS. Hist., f. 2, line 8-f. 3, line 20.
Although these notes are all published in the present volume for
the first time, they are not all published in the text. Only those
which are relevant to the actual narrative in The Conduct are in-
cluded in that text. All other irrelevant matter has, at points clearly
indicated in each case, been relegated to the textual notes. The first
of these passages to be omitted in this fashion is the entire first folio
and the first few lines at the top of f. 2 of the Notes. This passage
reads in the original, as follows:

2d vol. p. 898. Echard

The Earl of Shaftesbury sent for on Sunday morning as was also
Sir H. F. to whom the seals were promised -- The Attorney General
was said to be inconsolable.
