The Poetical Works of John Milton: Edited After the Original Texts (Classic Reprint)FB&C Limited, 23/07/2016 - 572 من الصفحات Excerpt from The Poetical Works of John Milton: Edited After the Original Texts In the matter of small or capital letters I have followed the old copy, except in one or two places where a personification seemed not plainly enough marked to a modern reader without a capital. Thus in [l Penseroso, l. 49, I print Leasure, although both editions read leasure; and in the Vacation Exercise, 1. 71, Times for times. Also where the employment or omission of a capital is plainly due to misprinting, as too frequently in the 1673 edition, I silently' make the correction. Examples are, notes for Notes in Sonnet xvii. 1. I 3 3 Anointed for anointed in Psalm ii. 1. 12. In regard to punctuation I have followed the old printers except in obvious misprints, and followed them also, as far as possible, in their distribution of roman and italic type and in the grouping of words and lines in the various titles. To follow them exactly was impossible, as the books are so very different in size. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
