ABSTRACT
The texts of the extracts in this edition have been edited from the manuscripts. Susan’s spelling, use of capital letters, superscripts, and punctuation and paragraph divisions have been retained; larger than usual spaces between sentences have been interpreted as paragraph divisions. Double inverted commas have been replaced by single, and missing inverted commas in exchanges of direct speech have been supplied without comment. Underlined passages are indicated by italics, and double-underlined passages by bold italics. No attempt has been made to reproduce the varying lengths of dash used by Susan for interpolations or to mark the end of a phrase or sentence. It should be noted that Susan’s use of capitals is highly inconsistent, and it is frequently difficult to distinguish between her use of upper case and lower case.
