[Technical Notes and Errata:

Two entries in the Table of Contents were merged in the printed book,
apparently for reasons of space. The original form was:

HOW TO CURE FRENSY, GOUT, AND TROUBLES FROM DEVILS, WICKED THOUGHTS,
ETC., p. 17; AND HOW OUR QUINTE ESSENCE IS HEAVEN 19

The main title page has been left as printed:
e{ess}encijs...
The internal title page was changed from
[Sloane MS. 73, fol. 10. Brit, Mus.]
The superfluous "e" and the comma after "Brit" appear to be the only
typographical errors in the book.

Each page of body text was surrounded by the following:

Top of Page:
Synopsis of page contents. This e-text preserves the page breaks and
line divisions of the 1866/1889 book.

Inner Margin:
Line numbers in increments of 4, used for Index.

Bottom of Page:
Footnotes, originally numbered from 1 on each page.

Outer Margin:
Side footnotes: Identified by asterisk rather than by number. In this
e-text they are printed directly below the referring line, in the same
way as page-bottom footnotes.

Folio number: Marked with an asterisk at the exact point of page break.
It appears to be mere coincidence that the text of folio (leaf) 26 was
printed on page 26 of the 1889 book.

Marginal notations: These are described in the "P.S." of the editor's
introduction.
