_Footnote Numbers_

_Errors in McKay edition_

Bk. I, ll. 516-531 (Fable I.XII)
Footnotes on this page were printed as 66-69 instead of 76-79
(e-text note numbers 78-81); other pages were not affected.
Bk. IV, note 17*.
The footnote tag was numbered as a second 17; the note itself was
numbered the first of two 18.

_Adjustments_

In the original text-- both editions-- footnote numbers began from 1 in
each Book, and started over when the count passed 99. Almost all Books
had duplications in the sequence, usually in the form "17*". In this
e-text, footnotes have been renumbered consecutively within each Book,
without duplication; Books I and VII continue past 100.

Interpolations:
Bk. I: 51*, 67*
Bk. II: 4*, 71*
Bk. III: 72*, 88*
Bk. IV: 17*, 37*, 77*
Bk. V: 46*, 76*
Bk. VI: (no change from original sequence)
Bk. VII: 4*, 73*, 2* (second series)
