***START OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK THE HISTORY OF ENGLAND, VOLUME I***
E-text prepared by David J. Cole
Transcriber's Note:
Like much 18th and 19th century publishing, the edition of
David Hume's "History of England" from which this text was
prepared makes extensive use of both footnotes and marginal
notes. Since this e-text format does not allow use of the
original superscripts to denote the lettered footnotes, they
are indicated by the relevant letter within brackets, thus
"[a]", and the footnotes themselves are reproduced within
brackets and preceded by "FN" at the end of the PARAGRAPH to
which they relate; since some of Hume's paragraphs are
considerably longer than is normal in 21st century American or
British writing, you may have to scroll some distance to find
the text of the footnote. All footnotes are reproduced
exactly as in the printed text.
More discretion has been exercised regarding marginal notes.
Those which simply repeat chapter numbers and dates already
given in the text are omitted as non-essential clutter. The
remainder are reproduced within brackets and preceded by "MN".
Those marginal notes which appear to correspond to sub-chapter
headings are reproduced as the first line of the paragraph to
which they relate. Other marginal notes are reproduced within
the text of the paragraph. Some apparently incomplete
marginal notes ending or beginning with ellipses are due to
cases where what is logically a single marginal note has been
broken into two or more pieces separated by a considerable
vertical distance.
