In /. 33, A has paradico, as in the second edition. It will be readily seen that these variations are chiefly in the spelling, and of a trivial character. The only ones of any importance are, on p. 151, lyste (which is a misprint) for lyft, and trassene for transsene (cp. Pr. transon, a trun- cheon, peece of. Cot.) ; on p. goot for good is well worth notice (if any meaning can be assigned to goot), as the direction to beware of good straw- berries is not obvious; on p. 153, we should note lesynge for lessynge, and hange for ren, the latter being an improvement, though ren makes sense, as basins hung by cords on a perch may, like curtains hung on a rod, be said to r^^n on it. The word ren was probably caught up from the line above it in reprinting. The following corrections are also worth making, and are made on the authority of the first edition :— P. 155,1. 10, For treachour read trenchour. 1. 23. For so read se. 1. 24. For se’ read se.

P. 160, 11. 18, &c. There is some variation here ; the first edition has, after the word souo'ayiie, the following :—“ laye trenchours before hym / yf he be a grete estate, lay fyue trenchours / & he be of a lower degre, foure trench, ours / & of an other degre, thre trenchours,” &c. This is better; the second edition is clearly wrong about the foe trenchers. This seems another error made in reprinting, the words lower degre being wrongly repeated. P. 161, 1. 6. It may be proper to note the first edition also has broche. P. 165, 1. 8. For for y® read for they-
