Manuscript Sources

Note on the Text

The texts for this edition are based on the manuscripts or, on the few occasions when these are missing or inaccessible, on printed sources. FB spent the last twenty years of her life editing her papers, and we present them in their final form.

We have retained her distinctive spelling, punctuation, capitalization, underlining (represented by italics), and paragraphing. Obvious slips of the pen, however (unlike eccentric spellings) have been silently corrected. Raised letters have been lowered; abbreviations (such as the ampersand, ‘yr’, etc.) have been expanded and ‘its’ and ‘hers’ as possessives have the apostrophe removed. Names and titles, which FB frequently represents by initials and shortened forms, have likewise been expanded: ‘Gnl. d’A.’ thus becomes ‘General d’Arblay’.
