THIS EDITION OF A GREAT POEM IS DEDICATED WITH HIS PERMISSION TO ALGERNON CHARLES SWINBURNE. MDCCCCII. TRANSCRIBER'S NOTES This etext contains a few phrases or lines of Greek text, for example: νους. If the mouse is held still over Greek text, a transliteration in Beta-code appears. An important feature of this edition is its copious footnotes. Footnote numbers are shown as small, superscript, bracketed codes in the text. Each such code is a link to the footnote text. Footnotes indexed with arabic numbers are informational. Note text in square brackets is the work of editor E.H. Coleridge, and is unique to this edition. Note text not in brackets is from earlier editions and is by a preceding editor or Byron himself. Footnotes indexed with letters document variant forms of the text from manuscripts and other sources. In the original, footnotes were printed at the foot of the page on which they were referenced, and their indices started over on each page. In this etext, footnotes have been collected at the ends of each preface or Canto, and have been numbered consecutively throughout. However, in the blocks of footnotes are numbers in braces: {495}.
