| General note | "The present edition ... follows the original impression of Caxton faithfully (save that Roman type has been substituted for black letter) word for word, line for line, page for page, and, with some exceptions ... letter for letter. As far as modern Roman type permits, all peculiarities of Caxton's type are imitated."--vol. I, p. [cxiii] |
