with a capital. < Heaven ' is rarely allowed a capital, although
* Ocean' always is. It was obviously the intention of the
printer to print all proper names in small capitals ; but Small
this rule, although often followed, was imperfectly carried "p"^^-
out. Cf. line 5-5-3 —
' And moodie Plvto winks while Orpheus playes.'
^ Pluto ' is with, but ' Orpheus ' is without, due mark of distinc-
tion. The place-name 'Ardea ' is in lower-case type in line i,but
in small capitals in line 1332. ' Rome ' appears six times and is
never in small capitals. Other signs of careless revision are
the substitution of a small letter for a capital at the opening
of line 8(^, and the dropping in two places of the catchword —
on pp. 28 and 90. Italics are not used at all, save in the
* Argument ', which is italicized throughout, proper names
only being in roman type.
The cursive contraction for ' m ' or ' n '— a long line over Connac-
the preceding vowel — is used thirty-eight times, commonly in
order to save space. The ampersand <&'(for 'and') occurs fifteen
times for the same reason. Both symbols are employed some-
what capriciously. Their employment reflects on the skill
of the printer, even if they figured in the author's < copy '.
Variations in the spelling of the same word are compara- Mis-

criticism. Thus we find ' doore ' (3 o <5) and ' dore ' (3 2 5-, 3 3 7) ;
' dumbe ' (2(58) and * dum ' (474) ; ' nurse '(1162) and ' nourse '
(813)^ 'opportunity ' (874, 87<J, 895*, 932) and ' oportunitie '
(903, 1023); 'rankes' (1439) and ' ranckes ' (1441) j 'Rome'
and ' Roome ' (i (J44, 185-1); ' sometime '(1106) and ' somtime '
(1105-); 'spirite ' (134(5), 'sprite' (47 1), and 'spright' (121);
'tongue' (i4<55-) and 'tong' (14(^3, 171 8). In the case of
' tongue ' and ' sometime ' the variations occur within a couple
of lines of one another. The curious spelling 'pollusion' forE
