§ Archaic spelling has been retained. If in doubt, no correction has been made. For example, the following have not been corrected:
page : original : correction -------------------------------------------------------------------- 308 : babes and suckling's mouths : babes and sucklings' mouths 327 : And junto's speak : And juntos speak 422 : independant : independent
§ Spellings, of which it is assumed that they were not intended by the authors, have been put right. These corrections were only made after consulting earlier and/or later editions of the Rolliad.

§ In the content of the original, subsequent odes were listed as 'Ditto', and at the start of a new page as 'Ode'. This was considered unnecessary in an e-text. On page iv of the contents, 'Ode' has therefore been replaced by 'Ditto'.
§ In the eclogue on Jekyll every fifth line is numbered. However, lines 20, 25 and 35 were too long to accommodate these numbers in the original. Instead, lines 21, 26 and 36 received a number. In this e-text, the numbering has been put on 20, 25, and 35.
§ Similarly, in the eclogue on Nicholson the line number 105 did not fit on the line. For that reason, line 106 bears the line number.
