Transcriber's Note:
Two types of notes appear in the original book: text variants, printed immediately below the text on each page, and editor's notes, printed at the bottom of each page; both types reference the text by line number. In this HTML version, all of the notes are collected together towards the end, before the index, and instead of referencing line numbers, they are numbered sequentially.
There are separate sequences for notes to the Introduction and to each of the five Acts. Anchors in the text are hyperlinked. In some cases, the original references to text line numbers have been preserved.
A list of the abbreviations used in the notes for cited editions can be found on page lv.
As in the original, throughout the text Cæsar is spelled with the ligature æ, except for one instance: "composition of _Julius
Caesar_".
