Headlong Hall

Modifications

  • Chapter head and foot decorations have been deleted — to simplify production to purely text.
  • Decorative chapter-start drop-caps have been replaced with large capitals — to simplify production to purely text.
  • Page numbers and headers have been deleted — the new document is unpaginated.
  • Fullstops have been deleted from chapter titles and song titles — they are superfluous.
  • All notes have been moved to the end of the document — to suit the unpaginated format.
  • All notes by the editor Richard Garnett have been deleted — to remove (insubstantial) attachments to the original text.
  • Chapter 1 paragraph 7: inserted closing quotes after "perpetually in statu quo." — they appear to be missing, since the speech is not continued in the next paragraph.
  • Chapter 1 paragraph 8: deleted fullstop after "astronomy——" — the sentence is truncated, it does not end.
  • Chapter 1 paragraph 9: deleted fullstop after "selfishness——" — the sentence is truncated, it does not end.
  • Chapter 1 paragraph 10: deleted fullstop after "cloth——" — the sentence is truncated, it does not end.
  • Chapter 1 paragraph 11: inserted a comma after "sprained ankle" — there is a small comma-sized gap at the end of the line where a comma appears to have been omitted.
  • Chapter 2 paragraph 1: deleted comma after "oils" in "oils, and colours" — "and" clusters things in an item, not separates items, in this list.
  • Chapter 4 paragraph 13: inserted closing quotes after "summit of Ararat." — they appear to be missing, since the speech is not continued in the next paragraph.
  • Chapter 5 paragraph 33: replaced emdash before "Exactly, sir: an' ye" with fullstop and space — it appears to be an erroneous inconsistency, there being no other like instances in speech indication.
  • Chapter 7 paragraph 5: deleted closing quotes after "confracti mundi rudera:" — the phrase is not quoted, and the speech does not end there.
  • Chapter 7 paragraph 6: replaced "procession" with "precession" in "The procession of the equinoxes" — it appears to be a spelling error, since Mr Foster is informed on the subject and not tending to make such mistakes.
  • Chapter 7 paragraph 17: inserted "Mr Escot." at start of paragraph before "Nor is" — to follow consistent indication and markup of speech.
  • Chapter 8 paragraph 1: replaced "befel" with "befell" — it appears to be a spelling error.
  • Chapter 9 paragraph 16: replaced fullstop with questionmark after "the tevil with" — the sentence is a question.
  • Chapter 9 paragraph 22: replaced fullstop with questionmark after "away with me" — the sentence is a question.
  • Chapter 9 paragraph 23: replaced "b" with "p" in "by his chost" — the sexton in all other cases says "py" instead of "by".
  • Chapter 10 paragraph 6: inserted single closing quote after "Οιοι νυν βροτοι εισιν" — it appears to be missing.
  • Chapter 11 paragraph 3: replaced "y" in "Vouley" with "z" — it appears to be a spelling error.
  • Chapter 12 paragraph 1: replaced "wolves" in "individual lion, tiger, wolves," with "wolf" — it is a list of singulars.
  • Chapter 12 paragraph 9: inserted paragraph start and opening quotes before "You observe, in both these skulls" — blockquotes cannot be inside paragraphs in the markup scheme.
  • Chapter 12 paragraph 13: inserted closing quotes after "becoming a judge." — they appear to be missing, since the speech is not continued in the next paragraph.
  • Chapter 13 paragraph 17: replaced "woful" with "woeful" in "by woful experience" — it appears to be a spelling error.
  • Chapter 13 ballad: replaced "feats" with "feasts" in "O rich are the feats" — it appears to be a spelling error.
  • Chapter 14 paragraph 3: replaced fullstop with questionmark after "Llewelyn Ap-Yorwerth" — the sentence is a question.
  • Chapter 14 paragraph 5: inserted comma after "said the lady" — one would be expected here.
  • Chapter 14 paragraph 27: capitalised "Squire" in "“Your daughter,” said squire Headlong." — all other instances of "Squire Headlong" are capitalised.
