(Enzer) (second) edition, are without it in the ‘Enzer’ (first) edition.
Similarly, capitals beginning common nouns within the line are distributed capriciously through both issues. But they do not appear in the same places in both copies. It may be estimated that the superfluous capital appears sixty-five times in the ‘Enzer’ copy in places where it is absent from the other copy, and sixty-nine times in the ‘Enzer’ copy in places where it is absent from the ‘Enzer’ edition. It is a peculiarity of the ‘Enzer’ copies that a small letter distinguishes the word ‘king’ at the heading of the King’s speeches. In the ‘Enzer’ copy the ordinary form ‘King’ is invariable.
