3. —­his melody Is interrupted—­now we hear the din, etc. (lines 265-6.) So the Hunt manuscript; his melody Is interrupted now:  we hear the din, etc., 1824, 1829.

4. 
Lines 282-284.  The editio princeps (1824) runs:—­
Smiled in their motions as they lay apart,
As one who wrought from his own fervid heart
The eloquence of passion:  soon he raised, etc.

5.  Line 414.  The editio princeps (1824) has a colon at the end of this line, and a semicolon at the close of line 415.

6.  The ‘three-dots’ point, which appears several times in these pages, is taken from the Hunt manuscript and serves to mark a pause longer than that of a full stop.

7.  He ceased, and overcome leant back awhile, etc. (line 511.) The form leant is retained here, as the stem-vowel, though unaltered in spelling, is shortened in pronunciation.  Thus leant (pronounced ‘lent’) from lean comes under the same category as crept from creep, lept from leap, cleft from cleave, etc.—­perfectly normal forms, all of them.  In the case of weak preterites formed without any vowel-change, the more regular formation with ed is that which has been adopted in this volume.  See Editor’s “Preface”.

8.  CANCELLED FRAGMENTS OF JULIAN AND MADDALO.  These were first printed by Dr. Garnett, “Relics of Shelley”, 1862.

9.  PUNCTUAL VARIATIONS.  Shelley’s final transcript of “Julian and Maddalo”, though written with great care and neatness, is yet very imperfectly punctuated.  He would seem to have relied on the vigilance of Leigh Hunt—­or, failing Hunt, of Peacock—­to make good all omissions while seeing the poem through the press.  Even Mr. Buxton Forman, careful as he is to uphold manuscript authority in general, finds it necessary to supplement the pointing of the Hunt manuscript in no fewer than ninety-four places.  The following table gives a list of the pointings adopted in our text, over and above those found in the Hunt manuscript.  In all but four or five instances, the supplementary points are derived from Mrs. Shelley’s text of 1824.
