TRANSCRIBER'S NOTES

This etext is a Latin-1 file. The original contained a few phrases or lines
of Greek text. These are represented here as Beta-code transliterations,
for example [Greek: nous]. The original text used a other characters not
found in the Latin-1 character set. These have been represented using
bracket notation, as follows: [-a] a with macron; [-o] o with macron; [)e]
e with breve. In Canto X, Stanza XLI Byron used three pharmaceutical
symbols, represented as [ezh] (looks like a "3"), [)ezh] (same, with caron),
and [Rx] (prescription symbol).

An important feature of this edition is its copious footnotes. Footnotes
indexed with arabic numbers (e.g. [17], [221]) are informational. Note
text in square brackets is the work of editor E.H. Coleridge, and is
unique to this edition. Other note text is from earlier editions and is
by a preceding editor or Byron himself.

Footnotes indexed with letters (e.g. [c], [bf]) document variant forms
of the text from manuscripts and other sour
