THE END OF THE SECOND VOLUME.

TRANSCRIBER’S NOTE

Original spelling and grammar are generally retained, with a few exceptions noted below. Original italics _look like this_. Superscript is marked like this: y^e. Original page numbers look like this: |735|.

This transcription is based almost exclusively on scanned page images from an edition with publication date 1807. The title page information, together with Part 1 of this Volume II, is located in Project Gutenburg ebook#16738. The page images used herein probably were private, not available on the internet; but Google has made page images from the same edition available―see [Title: Chronicles of England, Scotland and Ireland, Volume 2 Chronicles of England, Scotland and Ireland, Raphael Holinshed. Author: Raphael Holinshed. Publisher: Johnson, 1807. Original from: the Bavarian State Library. Digitized: Nov 25, 2009.] book ID=4r0_AAAAcAAJ, at books.google.com. This 1807 edition seems to be closely based on the 1587 edition of the _Chronicles_, printed in blackletter. Page images from the 1587 edition are available from the University of Pennsylvania. Vol. II, part 12 is at http://sceti.library.upenn.edu (textID=holinshed_richII). In a very few instances listed below, corrections have been made, or questions have been answered, by referring to the 1587 edition.

Current ebook software does not lend itself optimally to the original close association of sidenotes with specific lines of text. Therefore, sidenotes are now assigned to specific paragraphs rather than to lines. Moreover, the original sidenotes were often printed in a manner which makes it impossible to distinguish one sidenote paragraph from the next. One example of this occurred on page 850, with a sidenote printed like this:

_Abr. Fl._ out of _Thom. Wals._ pag. 395. _Polydor._

It turns out, proven by comparison with the 1587 edition, that _Polydor._ is a separate paragraph from the rest. But there are many similar instances, both in this 1807 edition and in the 1587 edition, none of which have been checked.

Page 735. In “the denied to paie for hir” _the_ was changed to _she_, to agree with the 1587 edition.

Page 739. In “cruell proceedings of those rude & baee people”, change _baee_ to _base_, to conform with the 1587 edition.

Page 763. The extra _the_ was removed from “heard the the friers information”.

Page 767. From “An other day 72 French ships (as they”, the unmatched left parenthesis mark was removed.

Page 772–773. Two sidenotes appear similar; the first is partially illegible, and is herein made the same as the second. The second is less illegible, and appears to be “_Abr. Fl._ out of _Henrie Knighton_ canon of Leicester abbeie”.

Page 776. The sidenote attached to the last paragraph was partly illegible, and is herein rendered “The king of Armenia sueth for”.

Page 788. In “to hurt them, or or cause any hurt”, removed the extra _or_, per the 1587 edition.

Page 790. In “to tarie louger, as one despairing”, changed _louger_ to _longer_, per the 1587 edition.

Page 798. In “the state of the meanest peason”, changed _peason_ to _person_, to comform with the 1587 edition.

Page 801. In “one of the heires to to Iohn Scot”, removed the extra _to_.

Page 803. From “which (according (as I haue seene noted) was”, removed the second left parenthesis, to agree with the 1587 edition.

Page 804. In “deliuered by the mouth of Walter Langhton”, retained, the _n_ should probably be _u_, making the word _Laughton_.

Page 807. In “saluo iure alterius cuiuscunq;.”, the text in the 1587 edition shows the “semicolon” as subscript, although it is retained herein as shown unsubscripted in the 1807 edition. Together with the q, this might be a ligature for que. There are several other instances of words ending in "q;", none of which have subscripted semicolons in this 1807 edition.

Page 829. From “more bold to interlace) about”, removed the unmatched right parenthesis.

Page 834. Original “prease on London bridg [*missing*] by reason thereof”, changed to “prease on London bridge, that by reason thereof”, per the 1587 edition.

Page 842. In “foure thousand nobles yéere e paid out of”, changed _yéere e_ to _yéerelie_, per the 1587 edition.

Page 844. In ‘than well.” “No |845| more said the king,’, removed the unmatched left quotation mark from _No_.

Page 845. The unmatched right double quotation mark was removed from the phrase ‘it could not be so brought to passe, his honor saued.’

Page 847. A matching right double quotation mark was added to the end of the sentence beginning ‘The proclamation ended, an other herald cried’.

Page 857. In “but the earle rode before, at it were”, changed _at_ to _as_, per the 1587 edition.

Page 869. In “God thundereth out his reall arguguments”, changed _arguguments_ to _arguments_, per the 1587 edition.
