Book excerpt: Excerpt from Thomson's Seasons: Critical Edition, Being a Reproduction of the Original Texts, With All the Various Readings of the Later Editions, Historically Arranged In the reproduction of the texts the original spelling and punctuation have been faithfully adhered except that the words printed in italics in the original texts have not been thus distinguished in the present edition (the use of italics being reserved for alterations in the later fully printed texts), and that Thomson's way of printing whole words in capital letters has not been followed. (words printed in capitals, in the original editions have been ren dered by small ordinary letters; they have been supplied with a capital initial only in the cases of proper names and in the case of a large-sized capital being placed at the be ginning oi the word in the original editions, e. G. Rural game or. Ed. Rural game crit. Ed. Aut. A. 359, british fair or. Ed. British Fair crit. Ed. Aut. A. Since the clearness of the whole would have suffered, if the com paratively unimportant variations of spelling and punctuation had been introduced into the footnotes together with the verbal alterations, a Special place has been assigned to the former variants (pp. XII - XXII). As to the spelling, it is note worthy that ih all the original editions, with the exception of the quarto of 1730 and the separate octavo editions of the Seasons founded upon this text and published before 1738, the nouns begin with a capital letter.
