Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Works of Henry Vaughan, Vol. 1 These volumes are intended to supply the need for an accurate text of Henry Vaughan´s works, preserving the essential features of the original editions. Long ´s´ and such purely typographical devices as ´û´ for ´um´, ´VV´ for ´W´, have been discarded; errors of spacing, wrong founts, and turned letters have been silently corrected; otherwise all departures from the original texts are recorded in the foot-notes. Different copies of each of the early issues have been collated with one another, and the early texts with modern editions. I have made no attempt, however, to record all the modern variants, which have often arisen from disregard of seventeenth-century usage, or sometimes even from insufficient scrutiny of the original texts. But the more important readings and conjectures of Vaughan´s editors have been noted. Differences of punctuation, but not of spelling, in the small portions of Vaughan´s works that were printed twice during the seventeenth century are also recorded. I have altered the punctuation in a few places, where it seemed to me that inconvenience would have been given to a contemporary reader; but I have altered it with a respect for seventeenth-century conventions, and as seldom as possible.
