Style Deviations

This work contains quite a few blatant typographical errors that unnecessarily break up the natural flow of reading, therefore:

• Use fo{{tooltip|o|'a' in orignal}}bar (displays: foobar) for unambiguous errors so that the corrected text displays on the page (e.g. on page 16 "the" is nonsensical and certainly a typographical error, obviously "they" is intended) - changing the text improves readability over using {{SIC}}.
• Use {{SIC|fu|foo}} for unknown spellings and apparent errors to avoid interpretive annotation (e.g. on page 9 "wich" is probably a typo but is readable and could be an undocumented spelling of "which" or a misspelling by the author.) Where a letter is added that is not an obvious typo but that spelling is undocumented on wiktionary, use the template as for tooltip, only placing the extra letter inside the template.
• Some are difficult, e.g. p. 19 give "rood" for what is obviously "rod", but the words are closely related and "rood" is a valid M.E. spelling, it's assumed here that 19th C. authors were not intentionally using M.E. spellings but we can't be sure. Discuss if necessary to determine what word was intended by the author vs the typographer and display the former with the latter in the tooltip.
• Use [[wikt:]] to link to wiktionary definitions for extremely unusual or archaic words or spellings that are documented there (e.g. on page 8, "instil" is a valid, albeit archaic spelling of "instill", we'll assume the spelling was intended by the author), in such cases, only link the first use.
• Spacing between words will be liberally interpreted as the work is full-justified on a rather narrow page and space before punctuations will be ignored as is usual.
• Use [[w:]] to link to wikipedia for phrases or terms that are not in wiktionary.
• Standardize the word "Chapter" as Chapter at the beginning of each chapter as it varies thoughout the work.
